@@JoeyMcNew-Drummer The story is true. George was drunk at home and ran out of alchohol but his wife at the time hid the keys so he couldn't go get more since she didn't like his drinking so he decided to try and drive his lawnmower to the liqour store to get more alchohol

I saw those blue lights flashin' Over my left shoulder He walked right up and said, "Get off that riding mower." I said sir, "Let me explain Before you put me in the tank." She took my keys away And now she won't drive me to drink. I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beer A hardwood floor a smoky atmosphere A pocket full of change to last me all night long I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song. --- Instrumental --- He didn't show me much compassion When I tried to walk that line As he put those handcuffs on me I said, "give me one more try." He never even cracked a smile When he threw me in the car So I said, "Sir, if you don't mind, Oh, would you drop me off in a bar." I need a honky tonk song a cold cold beer A hardwood floor a smoky atmosphere A pocket full of change to last me all night long I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song. I gotta hear old Hank a moanin' a honky tonk song... Source: Musixmatch Songwriters: Yates / Meyers Honky Tonk Song lyrics © Cedarwood Publishing, Hornall Brothers Music Ltd.

They should gave Possum a Medical Moonshine permit

[@1978garfield]

I never got to see the Possum live but I did get to see Junior way back before the internet had taken over. During the show me and my friend kept talking about his attractive female guitar player. My friend said something crude and I told him to not talk about my future wife like that. At the end of the show Junior introduces the band "Last but certainly not least I would like to introduce my lovely wife Tanya Rae Brown". There was an audible grown from hundreds of heart broke hillbillys in the crowd who previously thought that maybe they had a shot.

[@Jruus1]

The funny thing is that this is a true story! ;) His second wife "Shirley Corley" hid the keys to the car and then left. And George wouldn't walk that long for some booze so he took the lawn mover. I got this information from wikipedia.

[@1978garfield]

From what I have read he had the mower on so he was flinging rocks, beer cans and bottles and whatever else he ran over during the entire drive. I doubt he had a TV with a satellite dish like he did in the video.
