Toby Keith - Rum Is the Reason

This is a fun song that could have been by Jimmy Buffett.

Rum Is The Reason (Songwriters: Toby Keith, Bobby Pinson)

I heard Davey Crockett had a pint in his pocket, good whiskey at the AlamoNow that Pancho Villa had a jug of tequilaWhen he walked the streets of old MexicoWhile Blackbeard was fleecing around the hurricane seasonHe didn't quit because of a girlYeah, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
 
While Russia was brawlingI'll bet that old Stalin was calling for a vodka martiniWhile the world waited in fearOld Hitler drank beer from a stein, eating sauerkraut and weeniesYeah, down through the ages, as they're turning their pagesThey couldn't drink the diamonds and pearlsNo, 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 seaMy whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum, and the sun sinking down on meMy catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libre chasing down with a 12-ounce curlYeah, 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 seaMy whole body goes numb from a bottle of dark rum, and the sun sinking down on meMy catch of the day is a tall Cuba Libre chasing down with a 12-ounce curlOh, rum is the reason, I guessHey, rum is the reason pirates never ruled the world
