Country Music Drinking Story
One thing country music doesn't need is One More Drinking Song! Yet there will be more. Many more. Drinking and country music go hand in hand.
I'm referred to as lightweight. That means I won't be going Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo. In other words, if you Put A Drink In My Hand chances are I can't finish it.
The More I Drink, what will most likely happen is, I'll get All Jacked Up!
I have Friends In Low Places and also friends in high places. We all have our place in this world. It's 5:00 Somewhere and fans of country music like to Pop A Top, kick back and relax.
That's all good y'all. No need to get Rough & Ready unless need be!
Toby Keith - Red Solo Cup
I say we all just put on our Party Crown. We could enjoy some Domestic, Light & Cold from the tap, bottle, can, keg or in a Red Solo Cup!
I could be Pretty Good At Drinking Beer, but not if I'm at a pub and I notice the Bartender's Blues! What a downer that would be! Bartender's are supposed to be supportive and have a friendly ear! Next time I'll have my Beer In Mexico!
Don't Tell Mama, but I planned a party and All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight! There will be lots of food and Alcohol! There's a good possibility that someone will want to Save a Horse and Ride a Cowboy!
One never knows what to expect at a country music themed party. There will be Toes in the pool and asses in the sand! I heard a rumor some coy cowboy might make an appearance, but he's trouble so it's Goodbye Earl to him!
We might actually enjoy some bubbly! Yes, even country folk enjoy Drinking Champagne, even if it's straight from the bottle.
This will be My Kinda Party! If by chance the weather forecast changes and the sky opens up, it'll be fine because Rain Is A Good Thing! We could add wet t-shirt contests for the cowboys to the list of party events.
Hopefully we could also view a Tequila Sunrise! What we don't need is White Lighthing! The way these country folk Chug-a-Lug chances are they will be crying a Whiskey River due to being scared!
I'm sure the women will be telling their cowboys...Don't Come Home a Drinkin' with Loving On Your Mind! Good luck with that my friend! I bet he says, I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink. Uh oh, cowboy!
"Hey Bartender, fill him up!" Have fun y'all!
Blake Shelton - The More I Drink

I'm not sure how I missed this. You would think with my drinking background I would have commented immediately when this came out. Well, I'm here now, and it is a near-perfect list...all it's missing is Travis Tritt's "Old Memory and Me." :)
lovedoctor926 on January 24, 2015:
This is a very creative idea for a hub. I really enjoyed reading this post. I like country music a lot. Blake Shelton has an incredible voice. From this list, I like the Jose Cuervo Ten Rounds, Kenny Chesney, Beer in Mexico. Jimmy Buffet is good too and Tequila Sunrise by the Eagles. Great hub!
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on June 06, 2014:
Thanks y'all! :)
Michelle Liew from Singapore on July 03, 2013:

Bill Blackburn from Twentynine Palms, California on February 02, 2013:

Denise Handlon from Michigan on December 01, 2012:
Linda, this is great! Ha ha. What a funny hub-very creative! Thanks for the enjoyable laugh. :)
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on July 23, 2012:
I totally agree Josh! What are they thinking? Or are they thinking at all? I guess we'll never really know! :)
Joshua Zerbini from Pennsylvania on July 03, 2012:

Joshua Zerbini from Pennsylvania on July 03, 2012:

Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on July 03, 2012:
Hi Docmo, The videos don't always play on my phone but they work fine on the computer. That's a bummer when you only have a phone at the time. Regardless you know where to find these drinking songs now. Party on! Thanks for your comment!
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on July 03, 2012:
Josh, Absolutely not! It could never be sad to know so many awesome country music songs. I'm impressed that you do! I'm glad you enjoyed my story. I wasn't even drinking when I wrote it!:)
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on July 03, 2012:
Made... Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley is an amazingly sad song, but the story does hit home for many. Excellent song choice! Thank you!
Thank you Deb for stopping by for some country music drinking songs!:)
Mohan Kumar from UK on July 03, 2012:
Totally awesome. There is lot here I'm not familiar with and now I have a playlist for my next party! This is so much fun. Linda, yes you are a master of these lists! love the way you have written the whole hub with song titles. Is it just me or do the videos refuse to play saying ' videoplayer too small'. I had to copy all the urls onto another tab to listen to them. voted up/across!
Joshua Zerbini from Pennsylvania on July 03, 2012:
Linda, this hub was awesome! Is it sad that I know all of the songs in your story? :) This was an awesome and creative way to list country songs, you are brilliant Linda! :)
Deborah Neyens from Iowa on July 03, 2012:
Love the story. Very clever, Sunshine!
Madeleine Salin from Finland on July 03, 2012:
And maybe the party ends with a whiskey lullaby? This is an entertaining hub! Linda, you really know how to put smiles on faces with your writing. :)
iamaudraleigh on March 18, 2012:
I really like how you took all of those songs and created a story out of them...very creative and fun! Voted up!
emilybee on March 17, 2012:
Love, love, love this! I think I might have found another country fan? :) Voted up!
Kathy Haw from Waukesha, Wisconsin on March 14, 2012:
Love it! I didn't realize how MANY drinking songs there are! ;) I'm glad you included "White Lightnin'" it's a classic, but it has to have that "hiccup" in it! :) Voted up and FUNNY!
SanneL from Sweden on March 03, 2012:
I'm not familiar with many of these songs. However, "Put A Drink In My Hand" and it's "My Kinda Party" Eeehaa!!
Stephanie Henkel from USA on February 26, 2012:
What's a party without a good country music drinking song? Love your selections. Actually, it would be great to have them all on one playlist. :)
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on February 10, 2012:
Hi ardie and always! I'm glad you enjoyed my drinking mix! More to come...soon!:)
Ruby Jean Richert from Southern Illinois on January 25, 2012:
I'm still laughing..This is cute, witty and really funny. I love country music..Cheers
Sondra from Neverland on January 24, 2012:
HAHAH! She's at it agaaaaaaain. You and your ability to mix songs into Hubs just makes me laugh like a maniac :) Great hub and Im sure it wont be long before we see it in the top 100 too!!
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 24, 2012:
Hi Thelma! Y'all be sure and come back for Part 2! :)
KF, more than 200?! Wow, George Jones could drink me under the table!! Lol
Thanks for your comments:)
KF Raizor on January 23, 2012:
Great hub, very innovative. You're being very generous, however, by saying there are merely "over 100 drinking songs." I'm pretty sure George Jones has recorded at least 200 drinking songs. Cheers! (Pardon the pun.)
Thelma Raker Coffone from Blue Ridge Mountains, USA on January 23, 2012:
Great job! My husband is a former country music DJ and we both enjoyed reading this hub. I know exactly which Jimmy Buffett song you are talking about!
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
LOL drbj! :))
drbj and sherry from south Florida on January 23, 2012:
You do know your country music drinking songs, Sunshine. I used to like listening to one that never got much play. Perhaps you heard of it: "My wife ran away with my best friend . . . and I miss HIM!"
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
Lizzy :))
Jama ... me too! This was fun!
Wesman, I added Jr. next time I'll add Sr:)
Wesman Todd Shaw from Kaufman, Texas on January 23, 2012:
Three cheers for Jimmy Buffet!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'd have to throw some super duper amazing awesome Hank Jr. in here!)
Joanna McKenna from Central Oklahoma on January 23, 2012:
I'm looking forward to Part Two!
Liz Elias from Oakley, CA on January 23, 2012:
Oh, wow--my brain didn't even make a connection to Waylon! DUH!
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
I thought of that song Jama, I'm saving it for my next round-up of drinking country songs. With over a hundred to select from I can't just stop at one!:)
Joanna McKenna from Central Oklahoma on January 23, 2012:
btw, I'm surprised you didn't work in "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" by Joe Nichols. (Been there, done that - several times - but at least not until I got home!) ;D
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
Shooter Jennings! Yes he's country in a rockin' sorta way as is his daddy Waylon! Good song choice Lizzy! You have a wild side to you that is being exposed!:))
Liz Elias from Oakley, CA on January 23, 2012:
LOL--after I posted that, I went looking to see if there WAS such a song...and found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhfuG9PpWrc
I don't think it's country, though, and I didn't actually care much for the song..at least not the delivery..they aren't very good on stage...
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
@Don! Yee-haw to you and I! What a fantastic idea!!! I'll look into that:))
@Aloc...Thanks for your comment and vote!:)
@Lizzy, ok you got me with Hair Of The Dog? Gotta love some country music drinking songs:))
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
@Effer, Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it! Did you listen to Jimmy Buffett's song, a suggestion from Susan! Hahaha!
@Jama, Thanks for sharing your story! Very funny!
@cogerson, Thank YOU for stopping by. You ROCK!!
@Ruchira, Listening to country music is a nice way to start the day. Keith Urban wakes me up in the morning:))
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
@Tammy! I love ZBB! They could do wrong with their tunes! I need to write them a letter soon:)
@Deborah, Country music and Karaoke go so well together. I bet your husband has a blast! Post videos and share them with us:)
@Brian...Thanks for the votes!
Liz Elias from Oakley, CA on January 23, 2012:
Very clever, indeed! Love it. Voted up and funny. Good job. A lot of my favorite songs in you list as well...and it IS FIVE O'CLOCK SOMEWHERE...I think I'll go have some hair of the dog! ;-)
Joanna McKenna from Central Oklahoma on January 23, 2012:
alocsin, your suggestion opens up a whole new version of drinking games - i.e. name ALL the drinking songs - AND karaoke nights at the local pub. lol!
Aurelio Locsin from Orange County, CA on January 23, 2012:
I wonder if these could be memorized to add fun at a party. But then, if you've been drinking, just humming the tune would be fun enough. Voting this Up and Interesting.
Don Bobbitt from Ruskin Florida on January 23, 2012:
Love It! Love It! Love It! This Hub should be posted right above the Jukebox in every Bar in the country.
With it, there will be no more standing there and trying to remember the name of "that old song" you used to love after your third beer.
Just check the list and scroll through the selections and then push your buttons for that memory refresh!
What a Hub, as Ruchira says above, for a Monday morning to make me smile.
Voted UP and Awesome! You made my day!
Thanks!
Ruchira from United States on January 23, 2012:
eee-haa! what a day to start my monday morning :)
All drunk (with caffeine) and enjoying country music...lol
loved the idea, linda!
UltimateMovieRankings from Virginia on January 23, 2012:
A nice combination of drinking and country songs....lol. It seems like there are many country songs about drinking..thanks for posting many of them. I think my favorites would be Friends in Low Places and Red Solo Cup. Voted up...and continued success in your 30 day challenge.
Joanna McKenna from Central Oklahoma on January 23, 2012:
Susan, I know EXACTLY which Jimmy Buffett song you're referring to. I had the "live" version (with the hoots and whistles of the audience in the background) on a double LP (if you're old enough to know what LPs were). Had an uptight, overly-religious neighbor who was the pianist for her holy-rollers church and had her own piano up against our common wall. Knew how to use the foot pedals to increase the "bass" effect, too. Would practice EVERY MORNING at the butt crack of dawn, but I never complained. Well, not in words.
On warm Saturday afternoons, I'd open up all the windows, put THAT Jimmy Buffett song on the stereo, crank up the volume to just this side of blowing the speakers, then count to 30, at which point she'd come running out of her apartment trying to cover the ears of her two pre-schoolers as they ran far, far away.
Yes, it WAS very mean of me, but waking up to "Amazing Grace" or "The Old Rugged Cross" booming through the wall was NOT a pleasant way to start a day, either. At least I was only purposely offensive once a week (and only in the warm months), and not until she was fully awake... ;D
Suzie from Carson City on January 23, 2012:
Sunshine....You are positively the MASTER (I don't want to call you a Mistress!) at these great hubs that include all the pertinent words and phrases. You put them together so smoothly...not to mention very humorously....I like this one A LOT, GF!!!!
brian slater on January 23, 2012:
I don't know many of these songs, but who doesn't like a drink and to listen to someone singing.-voted up- awesome.
Deborah Brooks Langford from Brownsville,TX on January 23, 2012:
Great hub. I am with you we do not need any more drinking sings. but I husband loves these and sings them very well in Karaoke. What can we do..
Good Morning to you
Take care

Tammy from North Carolina on January 23, 2012:
Great hub! I like it is 5:00 Somewhere and I am a BIG Zac Brown fan. Really good suggestions for those looking to get tanked. Here is a joke for you. What do you get when you play a country song back wards? Your wife returns with all your stuff and your dog comes home.. Tee hee!
Linda Bilyeu (author) from Orlando, FL on January 23, 2012:
Thank you Susan for the video suggestion! What a way to start a Monday morning! :))
Thank you Frank, I'm not a whistle wetter but the songs are fun!!
I agree Alecia, the best times can be had without booze and lots of tunes!:)
Thank you weestro!
Pete Fanning from Virginia on January 23, 2012:
Great idea and a fantastic hub! Voted up and awesome.
Alecia Murphy from Wilmington, North Carolina on January 23, 2012:
Between Country and Hip-Hop, the music business has kept the alcohol business booming. I only recognize a couple of these songs but I guess part of the allure of Country is keeping it real and to a lot of people, drinking is keeping it real. But I still think you can have a good time sober! Great hub!
Frank Atanacio from Shelton on January 23, 2012:
what a way to wet your whistle without wetting your whistle..LOL great Hub :) Frank
Susan Zutautas from Ontario, Canada on January 23, 2012:
Very creative hub! I have a favorite song by Jimmy Buffett that relates to drinking but I don't dare put the name of the song title in the comment section :) If you like I'll send you a private message with the title.
