Beer for My Horses (feat. Willie Nelson) - Toby Keith

A past that's sprinkled with the blues A few old dreams that I can't use Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be There were the smiles before the tears And with the smiles some better years Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be When I remember how things were My memories all lead to her I'd like to start my life anew But memories just make me blue A cottage small just built for two A garden wall with violets blue Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be When I remember how things were My memories all lead to her I'd like to start my life anew But memories just make me blue A cottage small just built for two A garden wall with violets blue Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be Who'll buy my memories of things that used to be

She was a good looking woman no doubt A high steppin' mover that men talk about Everything bad in me she brought it out And she was just no good for me She was wonderfully wicked and wild With the looks of a woman And the ways of a child She could twist you or turn you With a look or a smile But she was just no good for me Don't be taken by the look in her eyes If she looks like an angel It's a perfect disguise And for somebody else she may be But she was just no good for me I'm just a fool for a looker I guess When it comes to beauty Lord knows she was blessed I thought I could change her and I did my best But she was just no good for me

Headed down life's crooked road Lots of things I never knowed And because of me not knowin', I'm not fine Trouble got right on my trail I spent the next five years in jail Should have read that detour sign Detour there's a muddy road ahead Detour paid no mind to what it said Detour oh the bitter things I find Should have read that detour sign I got stuck in the mud All my hopes dropped with a thud And I thought that my heart strings were made of twine But the father I go The more sorrow that I know Should have read that detour sign Detour there's a muddy road ahead Detour paid no mind to what it said Detour oh the bitter things I find Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign Should have read that detour sign

The lights go out each evening at eleven And up and down our block there's not a sound I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber And just then the local memory comes around Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more She's the hardest working memory in this town Turns out happiness again then lets loneliness back in And each night the local memory comes around Each day I say tonight I may escape her I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me But again the local memory comes around Rids the house of all good news then sets out my crying shoes What a faithful memory never lets me down We're both up till light of day chasing happiness away And each night the local memory comes around Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more It's the hardest working memory in this town Turns out happiness again then lets loneliness back in And each night the local memory comes around And each night the local memory comes around

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
