"Beer for My Horses" is a number-one single, recorded by American country music artists Toby Keith and Willie Nelson. The song spent six weeks at Number One on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in 2003 and peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Keith's biggest hit to date.[1] This record has since been tied by his 2005 single, "As Good as I Once Was", which also spent six weeks at Number One. Strangely, the original title of the song was going to be "Beer for My Men (and Whiskey for My Horses)" but Keith pointed out that beer should come after whiskey, making the title "Whiskey for My Men (and Beer for My Horses)". The final title was decided on when producer James Stroud advised that whiskey was too expensive for horses, and they should be the ones to drink beer.[2]
The music video for the song features Keith, Nelson and Corin Nemec, as detectives hunting a murderer.
A film adaption of the song entered production in mid-2008.[2] and was released on August 8, 2008.
