This catchy tune by Toby Keith and Willie Nelson taps into the themes of justice and tradition, echoing sentiments from days gone by. The song reminisces about a time when communities took a hands-on approach to law enforcement, symbolized through the metaphorical act of "hanging bad boys" as a public deterrent. It promotes the idea of standing firm against wrongdoing and banding together to uphold societal norms. The chorus, with its call for "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses," celebrates camaraderie and the relief after a hard day's work of maintaining order. Overall, it's a spirited call to action against evil forces, advocating for a return to simpler times when justice was swift and community bonds were strong.
Beer for My Horses
Lyrics
Willie, man, come on the 6 o'clock news
Said somebody's 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 done
Take all the rope in Texas find a tall oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys, hang them high in the street
For all the people to see
That justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys, you got to 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 singing
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
We got too many gangsters doing 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 got to saddle up your boys, you got to 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 singing
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
You know justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys, you got to 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 singing
Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
