Beer For My Horses (feat. Willie Nelson)

Well, a man come on 6:00 o'clock news

Said, "Somebody been shot, somebody's been abused

Somebody blew up a building, somebody stole a car

Somebody got away, somebody didn't get too far, yeah"

They didn't get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, "Back in my day, son

A man had to answer for the wicked that he'd done

Take all the rope in Texas, find a tall oak tree

Round up all of them bad boys, hang 'em high in the street

For all the people to see"

That justice is the one thing you should always find

You gotta saddle-up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line

When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune

And we'll all meet back at the local saloon

We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singin'

"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"

We got too many gangsters doin' dirty deeds

Too much corruption and crime in the streets

It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground

Send them all to their maker and He'll settle 'em down

You can bet, He'll set 'em down

'Cause justice is the one thing you should always find

You gotta saddle-up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line

When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune

And we'll all meet back at the local saloon

And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singin'

"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"

"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"

Whiskey for my men

He knew justice is the one thing you should always find

You gotta saddle-up your boys, you gotta draw a hard line

When the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune

And we'll all meet back at the local saloon

And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singin'

"Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"

Singin', "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"
