Toby Keith's new song with Willie Nelson:


Example, his duet with Willie Nelson goes like this:

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 gunsmoke 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 settle '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 gunsmoke 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."

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 gunsmoke 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."

Hubby and I have agreed. The Toby/Willie duet is the best war song out there. But we don't hear it enough on the radio.

Toby Keith's new song with Willie Nelson:

Reminds me of the punchline of the old classic....
(gal had gotten her two favorite singers' faces tattooed on the inside of her thighs and axed her hubby how the workmanship was, since she couldn't see them except for upside down)...

"Well....that 'may be' Englebert Humperdink on the left, and that 'may be' Tom Jones on the right, but fershure that's Willie Nelson in the middle!"
