I don't get it when he sings "Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses"

That line appears in the chorus, after Toby, Willie and the posse have cleaned up the bad guys. Then

When the gunsmoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
We'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing "Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses."
It's a reference to old time western movies. The men in the posse got whiskey; the horses got beer.
