Story behind the song
Neighborhood store closing after being in the community for over 50 years.
Lyrics
COLD POP
written by Lloyd Kyrk (BMI)
guitar and vocal by Phillip Moore
[VERSE 1]
To the whole town's dismay
Kirk's General Store closed today
It was the pride of our town square
We were expectin' it'd always be there
But after 50 years, the owner's callin' it quits
Ol' Man Kirk's losin' money...runnin' it
Big box store down-the-street is to blame
And when Kirk's closes-up, the town won't be the same...
[CHORUS 1]
Cuz' every kid remembers those hot summer days
The bell'd ring as you walked in the door
And if the paddle fans didn't make you feel lots-better
Ol' Man Kirk'd have something more
He'd open the lid of that red ice chest
And say "Thanks for comin', this town is the best"
And he'd hand ya' an ice cold pop(he would)
Old Pop'd hand you a cold-cold-pop!
[VERSE 2]
And it seems like only yesterday
Old Man Kirk always had that giveaway
I'd walk in with my Grandmother
And everyone in town...knew each other
If you needed groceries, but short on cash
Ol' Man Kirk'd help you out with that
Then little-by-little, the years all flew
Now folks don't stop like they used to do...
[CHORUS 2]
But we still remember those hot summer days
The bell'd ring as you walked in the door
And if the paddle fans didn't make you feel lots-better
Ol' Man Kirk'd have something more
He's open the lid of that red ice chest
And say "Thanks for comin', this town is the best"
And he'd hand ya' an ice cold pop(he would)
Old Pop'd hand you a cold-cold-pop!
[BRIDGE]
"The Pause That Refreshes"
Was written on that bottle of pop
And those memories...are precious
How I hated to see them stop
[CHORUS 3]
Yeah, I'll always remember those hot summer days
The bell'd ring as you walked in the door
And if the paddle fans didn't make you feel lots-better
Ol' Man Kirk'd have something more
He'd open the lid of that red ice chest
And say "Thanks for comin', this town is the best"
And he'd hand ya' an ice cold pop(he would)
Old Pop'd hand you a cold-cold-pop!
[TAG]
I wish he'd have never stopped
Ol' Pop'd hand you a cold-cold-pop!
