Johnny Paycheck — Colorado KoolAid

February 24, 2008

I was sittin’ in this beer joint down in Houston, Texas
We’s drinkin’ Colorado KoolAid and talkin’ to some Mexicans

These opening lines were all I needed to hear to know that I was going to love this song. If you haven’t heard it before, do yourself a favor and check it out. It’s more of a story than a song, but it’s a great story. Yeah, you can read the lyrics, and get the story, but as is the case with any good story song, it’s Johnny Paycheck’s delivery that really makes this song. Without giving too much of the story away, I can post Paycheck’s valuable advice at the end of this song.

Now let me tell you–if you’re ever ridin’ down in south Texas
Decide to stop an’ drink some Colorado Kool-Aid
And maybe talk to some Mexicans
And you get the urge to get a little tough
Better make damn sure you got your knife-proof ear-muffs.
