Discover the story of the song > Colorado Cool-Aid – Johnny Paycheck

The protagonist is drinking beer with some Mexican friends in Houston and they are all enjoying Colorado Kool-Aid, which is a strong beer made from mountain stream. However, a big, aggressive man in the bar starts a fight, spits beer on one of the Mexican's ears, and gets his ear cut off in retaliation. Despite the mayhem, the protagonist and his friends continue having fun with their Colorado Kool-Aid while joking about the incident and making fun of the big man's missing ear. The lesson learned is that it's best to be careful and avoid fights if you don't want to end up like the big man.
