Posted this on the other forums thread, but thought I'd share with my friends here. I've always liked the song/music, but somehow, the words seem to have more meaning today...seemed appropriate to the occasion:
BEER FOR MY HORSES:
well a man come on 6 o'clock news says
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
Grandpapy told my Papy
back in my day son
a man had to answer
for the wicked thing he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall Oak tree
Round up all of them bad boys
Hang'm high in the tree
For all the people to see.
(Chorus)
Cause
justice is the one thing that
you should always find
you got to sattle 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 salloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
We've 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'm down
You can bet he'll settle'm down
(chorus)
whisky for my men, beer for my horses
Again, I'd like to personally shake the hand of each and every one of those that took this POS out of this world!
