Country/Western Trivia (Random Drinking Lyrics Edition)

UPDATE: since this has moved off the front page, I'm adding in the last answer.

I really haven't much this weekend. Too much to do, too little time. Managed to get in a short bike ride but I took the new Mamas and Papas CD on it.

SOOOOOO... for lack of anything better, here's a bunch of country songs about drinking. Some are retreads. Can't help it - just can't think of much else. Also, despite the many thousands of C/W drinking songs, I only have a small sample. Gotta save some for another time.

In no particular order:

1) G-men, T-men, and revenooers, too. What were they looking for? [Joel: For the place where my Pappy made his brew]

2) About a half mile from me there's an old hollow tree where you lay down a dollar or two. What do you come back with? [Joel: A jug of that good old Mountain Dew]

3) I'm hurting in an old familiar way. Why? [Joel: Because tonight the bottle let me down]

4) Tomorrow might be painful but tonight we're gonna fly. With whom? [Joel: With Jose Cuervo]

5) I've got time for just one more round. So do what again? [Joel: Pop a top again]

6) Here’s a toast to my misery, in any of three different ways. What are those three ways? [Dr. Weevil: On tap, in the can, or in the bottle]

7) Take my mind, don't let her memory torture me, and please don't run dry. To what am I talking? [Joel: Whiskey River]

8) Baby left me without warning sometime in the night. What kind of morning is it? [Joel: It's a Bloody Mary morning]

9) Give me champagne, I won't complain if that's the best you can do. But when I go first class, do what? [Answer: When I go first class, fill my glass with Oklahoma home brew]

I expected to get more of these than I did. But you can hide them if you want to give someone else a shot. (As it were.)

1) The place where Pappy made his brew.

2) Mountain dew?

3) Because tonight the bottle let me down? (I'm reaching here.)

4) With Jose Cuervo, who is a friend of mine.

5) Pop a top.

7) Whiskey River.

8) A bloody Mary morning.

Correct on all counts, sir!

Can't believe you skipped this one.

Ha ha! That's beautiful, Laura!

If vodka puts my mouth in gear, what do I prefer? (I kind of expected to see that one on your list, too.)

I thought of it but elected to save it for another time (seriously, I need something in the bank for my next brain fade).

Here's a song that will make you want to raise a glass and say L'Chayim!

Ha! "Take back what you said about Aristittle O-nay-sis!"

The lyrics don't ring a bell, but is #6 Hank Thompson's "On Tap, in the Can, or in the Bottle"?

It is, indeed. And as a hint, the other still unanswered question is a Hank Thompson tune too.
