[Verse]
GWell, I was sittin' in this beer joint down in Houston, Texas
CWas drinkin' Colorado Cool-Aid and talkin' to some Mexicans
DAn' we was, what's that you say?
GWhat's Colorado Cool-Aid?
GWell, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream
CIt'll set your head on fire an' make your kidneys scream
DOh, it sure is fine
GYeah, we was havin' ourselves one of them real good times
GBut you know just as sure as any beer joint you've ever been in
CThere's some big, mean drunk who just ain't got no friends
DYeah, he wants to fight
GHe's gonna whip everything in sight
GWell, he took him a big cold swallow of beer
CAnd he walked over and spit in my Mexican friends ear
DSure enough - that made my buddy real mad
GThat's somethin' like he ain't never had
GWell, Sir, he pulled out a big, long switch blade knife
CQuick as a whistle he began to slice
DThat big mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears
GLookin' down at the floor, at one of his ears
GHa, he cut that thing off even with the sideburns
CWell, ya might say the little Mexican fella, he just didn't give a dern
But Dhe was a gentleman about it - An' bent over and with a half way grin
GPicked it up and handed it back to him
GHe said, "Now big man, the next time you get the urge to spit a little beer
CYou just open up your hand there and spit it in your own ear
DWon't be no trouble that way", that's what I heard him say
GAnd I said, "Barmaid,
Gset us up
Ca round of that Colorado Cool-Aid
DAnd while you're up there, bring this big fella here, a box of Bandaids"
GNow let me tell you
Gif you're ever ridin' down in south of Texas
CAnd you decide to stop an' drink some Colorado Cool-Aid
An' Dmaybe talk to some Mexicans
GAn' you get the urge to get a little tough
GBetter make damn sure you got your knife proof ear-muffs
CHey, ain't that right, big man?
DI SAID, AIN'T THAT RIGHT, BIG MAN?
GAh, hell - he can't hear,
Gnot on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear!
CHey barmaid, bring us all a big, tall glass of that Colorado Cool-Aid
DHow about it?
GHow you doin' there, big man? Still got your ear there in your hand?
