The song also peaked at number one for six weeks in the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs (one of two songs to stay that long at number one for Toby Keith).

The accompanying music video was directed by Michael Salomon and premiered on April 9, 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CMT : Music Video : Beer for My Horses : Toby Keith )〕 "Beer for My Horses" also made Willie Nelson the oldest artist to top the country charts at age 70. The phrase, "Whiskey for me beer for my horse." is said in the 1975 film 'Bite The Bullet' by Jan Michael Vincent. ==Music video== The music video for the song features Keith, Nelson and Corin Nemec, as detectives hunting a serial killer, played by Gregg Gilmore. The detectives eventually convince Nemec to dress up as a woman to lure the serial killer and they end up capturing him. The video, directed by Michael Salomon, was shot in downtown Los Angeles and at the nearby Golden Oak Ranch, in Newhall, California. It is also the first video in which Keith does not actually sing. On March 4, 2003 the video was nominated for Video of the Year for the Academy of Country Music Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=38th Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards Nominees | Billboard )〕 It won the award for Video of the Year in May later that year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beer for My Horses」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
