[UPDATE: Last of the answers added]
Well, drove up to spend the day helping Daughter Number Two move to her new apartment. Very warm day, lots of sweat equity in moving furniture and stuff. Now I'm tired and sore. Didn't get to take a ride with a CD, so I'm just taking an inspiration from what I heard on the radio while driving there and back. Well, inspiration may be a strong word. Let's just say that I'm pulling stuff right off the top of my head with little thought to how tough they might be. And I don't think many of them will be too tough.
1) Honey don't just stand there lookin' like this dream will never end. Honey, let me do what? [Answer: Honey, let me introduce you to my redneck friend; a rather apropos opener, don't you think?]
2) Who don't a southern man need around, anyhow? [Joel: Neil Young, indeed]
3) I never read it in a book, I never saw it on a show. Where did I hear it? [Joel is on the right track, but not enough info for full credit] [Answer: Joel was on the right track but in point of fact, I heard it in the alley on the weird radio; and also, in point of fact, it's now in my rock and roll]
4) I was born in the back seat of what, and where was it rolling? [KG: The backseat of a Greyhound bus rolling down Highway 41. Joel gets some points, though, for an incorrect but very cool answer]
5) Who jumped up on a hickory stump, and what did he say? [Joel: The Devil jumped up on a hickory stump and said "Boy, let me tell you what". See Joel's comment for the aftermath]
6) If I got one more silver dollar, who am I? [Alan: Midnight rider]
7) I’ve got the pedal to the floor, I’m out of money, I’m out of hope, and it looks like self destruction. What am I doing? [Not the answer I'm looking for, but Alan has a good one!] [Answer: Beyond Alan's answer, I'm flirtin' with disaster]
Goodnight, all.

3) I believe that would be the radio. (I may be wrong; my memory is vague.)
4) This one is something besides what you're looking for, but I was born in the back of a Seminole bus on the road to Niagrara Falls. (Do I get credit for an alternate answer?)
5) The Devil jumped up, and said, "Boy, let me tell you what." Whereupon [Papa] John fiddled Satan's ass off and got a golden fiddle.
