Lyric Beer For My Horses

Well a 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

Chorus:

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
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
We ve got too much corruption, too much 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

Chorus (x2)
