Subject: Lyr Add: BEER FOR MY HORSES (Toby Keith)
Country singer Toby Keith sang this song at Trump's inaugural concert.
The concert was reviewed by the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, and the Guardian, and not one of them commented on this song.


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 them high in the street 
For all the people to see... 

You got to saddle up your boys, you got to draw a hard line 
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune 
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon 

Donald Trump watches Toby Keith sing "Beer for My Horses" at Trump's inaugural concert, Friday January 19th.
