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.

Posted by: Joel at March 2, 2008 08:00 AMI thought of it but elected to save it for another time (seriously, I need something in the bank for my next brain fade).

Ha! "Take back what you said about Aristittle O-nay-sis!"
Posted by: Ken S, Fifth String on the Banjo of Life at March 3, 2008 06:21 AMThe lyrics don't ring a bell, but is #6 Hank Thompson's "On Tap, in the Can, or in the Bottle"?
Posted by: Dr. Weevil at March 15, 2008 01:34 PMIt is, indeed. And as a hint, the other still unanswered question is a Hank Thompson tune too.
