Beer For My Horses Lyrics
By Willie Nelson

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

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, 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 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
Whiskey for my men beer for my horses

BREAK X 2

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
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
