Rum is the Reason
(Toby Keith)
I heard Davey Crockett had a pint in his pocket, Good whiskey at the Alamo
Now that Pancho Villia had a jug of Tequila when he walked the streets of old Mexico
While Blackbeard was fleecing around the hurricane season, he didn’t quit because of a girl
Yeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
While Russia was brawling, I bet that Old Stalin was calling for a vodka martina
While the world waited in fear, Old Hitler drank beer from a stein, eating sauerkraut and weenies
Yeah, down through the ages, they couldn’t drink their diamonds and pearls
No, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
I ain’t getting much done but I’m having fun sailing on the deep blue sea
My whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum and the sun sinking down on me
My catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libra chased down with a 12 oz curl
Yeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
I ain’t getting much done but I’m having fun sailing on the deep blue sea
My whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum and the sun sinking down on me
My catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libra chased down with a 12 oz curl
Yeah, rum is the reason I guess...
Hey, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
Take it home coral reefers, haha…
Yeah
