[Verse]
G Well, I was sittin' in this beer joint down in Houston, Texas C Was drinkin' Colorado Cool-Aid and talkin' to some Mexicans D An' we was, what's that you say? G What's Colorado Cool-Aid? G Well, it's a can of Coors brewed from a mountain stream C It'll set your head on fire an' make your kidneys scream D Oh, it sure is fine G Yeah, we was havin' ourselves one of them real good times G But you know just as sure as any beer joint you've ever been in C There's some big, mean drunk who just ain't got no friends D Yeah, he wants to fight G He's gonna whip everything in sight G Well, he took him a big cold swallow of beer C And he walked over and spit in my Mexican friends ear D Sure enough - that made my buddy real mad G That's somethin' like he ain't never had G Well, Sir, he pulled out a big, long switch blade knife C Quick as a whistle he began to slice D That big mean drunk stood back, his face full of tears G Lookin' down at the floor, at one of his ears G Ha, he cut that thing off even with the sideburns C Well, ya might say the little Mexican fella, he just didn't give a dern D But he was a gentleman about it - An' bent over and with a half way grin G Picked it up and handed it back to him G He said, "Now big man, the next time you get the urge to spit a little beer C You just open up your hand there and spit it in your own ear D Won't be no trouble that way", that's what I heard him say G And I said, "Barmaid, G set us up C a round of that Colorado Cool-Aid D And while you're up there, bring this big fella here, a box of Bandaids" G Now let me tell you G if you're ever ridin' down in south of Texas C And you decide to stop an' drink some Colorado Cool-Aid D An' maybe talk to some Mexicans G An' you get the urge to get a little tough G Better make damn sure you got your knife proof ear-muffs C Hey, ain't that right, big man? D I SAID, AIN'T THAT RIGHT, BIG MAN? G Ah, hell - he can't hear, G not on this side anyway, he ain't got no ear! C Hey barmaid, bring us all a big, tall glass of that Colorado Cool-Aid D How about it? G How you doin' there, big man? Still got your ear there in your hand?
