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

Tonight in the bar alone I'm sitting Apart from the laughter and the cheer Scenes from the past rise before me Watchin' the bubbles in my beer Visions of someone who loved me Brings a lone silent tear to my eye And I know that my life's been a failure Watchin' the bubbles in my beer I'm seeing the road that I travel A road filled with heartaches and tears And I'm seeing the past that I've wasted Watchin' the bubbles in my beer Visions of someone who loved me Brings a lone, silent tear to my eye And I know that my life's been a failure Watchin' the bubbles in my beer

See him wasted on the sidewalk in His jacket and his jeans Wearing yesterday's misfortunes Like a smile Once he had a future full of Money, love and dreams Which he spent like they Was going out of style And he keeps right on a changing For the better or the worse And searching for a shrine He's never found Never knowing if believing Is a blessing or a curse Or if the going up is worth to coming down He's a poet he's a picker He's a prophet he's a pusher He's a pilgrim and a preacher And a problem when he's stoned He's a walking contradiction partly Truth and partly fiction Taking every wrong direction on his Lonely way back home He has tasted good and evil In your bedrooms and your bars And he's traded in tomorrow for today Running from his devils Lord And reaching for the stars And losing all he loved along the way But if this world keeps right On turning for the better or the worse And all he ever gets is older and around From the rocking of the Cradle to the rolling of the hearse The going up was worth the coming down He's a poet he's a picker He's a prophet He's a pusher He's a poet he's a picker He's a prophet he's a pusher He's a pilgrim and a preacher And a problem when he's stoned He's a walking contradiction partly Truth and partly fiction Taking every wrong direction on his Lonely way back home

Life has a funny way Of keeping me on my toes Oh how my shoulders ache Under the weight of my woes My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings Lovers and friends the same Everyone's fair game Everyone can hurt your heart When it all falls apart My tears fall On my old guitar Time and time again My surest friend My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings No matter where I go The music guides my soul Through all the ups and downs It can help turn me around My tears fall On my old guitar And I just wail and weep Over softly bending strings

Our little dream castle with every dream gone Is lonely and silent, and the shades are all drawn And my heart is heavy as I gaze upon A cottage for sale The lawn we were proud of is waving in hay Our beautiful garden has withered away Where you planted roses, but the weeds seem to say A cottage for sale From every single window I see your face But when I reach the window There's only empty space The key's in the mailbox, the same as before But no one is waiting for me anymore The end of our story is there on the door A cottage for sale A cottage for sale

Ah, one, two, three, go Now lately I've been livin' in a world that's black and white Ever since you left, all the colors just drained out of my life And I been goin' through the motions I can feel myself slippin' away, slippin' away I keep thinkin' 'bout that summer, South Daytona Beach We never left the bed, no, we never got no sleep And I been lookin' back and thinkin' 'bout the way it was The way we were, we were reckless, so reckless When I was with you, baby, I was Superman Yeah, we were sky high, there was nothing better When I was with you, grabbin' that live wire Where we were Johnny and June in a ring of fire Now you're caught up in my head like a melody Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing Ooh, when I was with you, when I was with you (when I was with you) On some starry summer nights, I still wonder where you are Are you still breakin' all the hearts of all the boys that play guitar? And just goin' through the motions of emotions It's slippin' away, slippin' away, mm But even with all that, girl, I'd still trade a few heartbeats For one more sleepless night tangled up between your sheets And I been lookin' back and thinkin' 'bout the way it was The way we were and those hundred mile an hour curves When I was with you, baby, I was Superman Yeah, we were sky high, there was nothing better When I was with you, grabbin' that live wire (live wire) Where we were Johnny and June in a ring of fire Now you're caught up in my head like a melody Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing Ooh, when I was with you, when I was with you, oh When I was with you Oh, now you're caught up in my head like a melody Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing Ooh, when I was with you, when I was with you Hey, hey, hey
