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 them bad boys, hang 'em high in the street     For all the people to see that Justice is the one thing you should always find. You gotta saddle up your boys, you gotta 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 singin, "Whiskey for my men, Beer for my horses." We got too many gangsters doin 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 Refrain Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui se souvient des temps passés où chacun devait faire face aux conséquences de ses actes. Il évoque une époque où la justice était prise en main, et où les fautes étaient punies de manière directe. L’idée est que face à la montée des criminalités et de la corruption, il est temps que la loi agisse fermement contre ceux qui font le mal. Le refrain est un hymne à la camaraderie, symbolisant le soutien entre amis, tout en célébrant une vie de hors-la-loi dans le contexte d'un saloon, avec des verres levés pour défier les forces du mal. On y retrouve un esprit de révolte, mais également une volonté de justice, où la proverbialité du whisky pour les hommes et de la bière pour les chevaux vient renforcer cette solidarité face aux épreuves.
