Beer For My Horses was the fourth single off of Toby Keith’s album Unleashed. The song was so popular it even spawned a full-length film.

There was also a music video for the song, in which Keith is playing a detective with a friend of his. He’s trying to find the killer of a recent murder case, but can’t quite figure it out. As a last resort, he calls his retired detective buddy played by Willie Nelson. Nelson at first says he no longer works with that and that he’s retired, but with enough begging from Keith, Nelson decides to give it one last shot.

Musically, the chords are the same throughout most of the song; B flat, E flat, B flat, F, B flat.
