Some of you will have no idea what I am talking about, and some of you will click away as soon as you see these words...Hank Jr.
As a college girl Family Tradition was often a late night party favorite. It was usually played after the super drunk guy had hugged every stanger and told them "I LOVE YOU MAN!," but before he threw up because he realized his beer bottle had a ciggy floating in the bottom.
We had our own refrain to this song......a refrain that I added to the song as I was listening to it in the Minivan, with the kids. Windows down, music loud (helps blot out the "Mom he is touching me"):
Hank, why do you drink? "TO GET DRUNK"
Hank, why do you roll smoke? "TO GET HIGH"
Why must you live by the songs that you wrote "TO GET LAID"
OH SHITE! "No, kids Hank gets paid, paid .. and he is high on life, NO! I said skunk, I don't know QUIT TALKING! Where is the Tylenol?!"

Snort! My mom yesterday told my step bother to "go get some: to make his bad mood better and Aaron turned to me and said "Mommy, you go get some..."
LOVE IT!!! I'm a Longhorn married to a good ol' Ag and I know we'll both be making these blunders soon enough!!!! I totally relate!
All your rowdy friends came over last night, huh?
LOL! We used to sing those exact same lines. Much fun at the bars!!
that's quite a slip. I love it. Maybe you got lucky and they were to busy looking at each other and stuff to notice?
perhaps my country-music impairment is to blame, but I have no freaking clue who Hank Jr. is. (?)
"Friends in Low Places"
and "You Don't Have to Call Me Darlin', Darlin'"
Oh those were the days...
War Eagle Supper Club.
The trailer park right behind there where several friends lived and could host good parties w/o getting the police called all the time like us lame-oh's in apartment buildings.
Rollin' Toomer's Corner.
My favorite band at the Supper Club? The Velcro Pygmies (don't -for the love of chocolate - goggle them now - they're gross. Too much beer kept me from seeing that back in the day.)
ps - thanks for the reminder about the countdown to game day... something to look forward to!

hahaha! I remember having to worry about stuff like that.... ;-)
Hee hee...when I saw Hank Jr. I knew I would love this post! I'm actually just naughty enough to teach my kids the "extras" on purpose.
I'm telling y'all sometimes I just forget that there are midgets in the back seat...It's not just the singing its the language that may or may not be used to rebuke the less than stellar drivers among us.
I may have to buy myself one of those bondage hood things, the kind with the ball that goes in your mouth so you CAN NOT talk. I could zip my head up in that right? Of course drinking my Diet Coke could be a problem....
AuburnGal- You never even call me by my name.....
LOVE THAT SONG!
I was one of the lame-Ohs...I lived at Tammarack. Every morning one the way to class there was this old guy in his front yard peeing for all the world to see...peeing and waving...classy..
hah hah hah...yup, I know this song very well! Thank goodness my kids don't, YET!
Great post!
i am still cracking up! i think my car stereo was blaring going straight to hell as i drove down some steps in front of a dorm after a fabulous concert in Auburn ...Jimmy Buffet to be exact!!! We then kept on driving over to the Supper Club where we closed the place down singing to the tune of good 'ole Hank!!! I stumbled into the KD dorm to spend the night with my older sister!!! Good times i tell ya!!!-katfish
