Beer For My Horses

Willie, man, come on, six o'clock news say 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'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, 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 'em 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, 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 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, singing "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses" Singing, "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"
