Country Music Lyrics

Rum is the reason

Rum is the reason - Toby Keith

I heard Davy Crockett
Had a pint in his pocket
Good whiskey at the Alamo
Now I bet Pancho Villa
Had a jug of tequila
When he walked the streets of old Mexico
While Blackbeard was fleecin'
Round hurricane season
He didn't quit because of a girl

Yeah rum is the reason
Pirates never ruled the world

While Russia was brawlin'
I'll bet that Ol Stalin
Was callin' for a vodka martini
While the world laid in fear
Ol Hitler drank beer
From a stein eating sourkrought and wenies
Yeah down through the ages as they turn through the pages

They couldn't drink their diamonds and pearls
Yeah rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world

I ain't gettin' much done
But I'm having' fun
Sailin' on the deep blue sea
My whole body goes numb
From a bottle of dark rum
And a sun sinkin' down on me
My catch of the day is a tall Cuba libre
Chasin' down with 12 ounce curls
Yeah rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
I ain't gettin' much done
But I'm havin' fun
Sailin' on the deep blue sea
My whole body goes numb
From a bottle of dark rum and a sun sinkin' down on me
My catch of the day is a tall Cuba libre
Chasin' down with 12 ounce curls
Whoa rum is the reason
Yeah I guess rum is the reason
Pirates never ruled the world
