Did anyone else notice that Wednesday night’s 2014 CMT Music Awards had a good time tossing back a few? We’re not judging — it made for a hell of a party — but seriously, it seemed like nearly every performance was about drankin’. Adult beverages if you’re legal, Shirley Temples if you’re not, of course.
So once you’ve slept off your CMT Awards hangover — it’s only Thursday, get it together — piece the night together, performance by boozy performance.
Dierks Bentley Gets Drunk On A Plane
Key lyric: On my way home I’ll bump this seat right up to first class / So I can drink that cheap champagne out of a real glass / And when we land I’ll call her up and tell her kiss my ass / ‘Cause hey, I’m drunk on a plane
Little Big Town Start Early With ‘Day Drinking’
Key lyric: Don’t want to wait til the sun’s sinking / We could be feeling all right / I know you won’t know what I’m thinking / Why don’t we do a little day drinking
Lady Antelbellum Insist: Bartender = Therapist
Key lyric: Hey bartender pour ‘em hot tonight / ‘Til the party and the music and the truth collide / Bring it ‘til his memory fades away
Florida George Line And Luke Bryan Spike ‘Talk Dirty’
Key lyric: The mix in our drink’s a little stronger than you think / So get a grip, take a sip of that feel right
Brantley Gilbert Throws A Tailgate
Key lyric: Drop a tailgate on ya truck / Find a keg and fill ya cup up
Jake Owen Proves You Don’t Even Need Shoes On To Drink
Key lyric: White sand, cold can, koozie in my hand, just a summertime strolling / Chillin’, breezing, sippin’, singin’ whoa / Beachin’
Blake Shelton, Meanwhile, Proposes A More Laid-Back Affair
Key lyric: Yeah the boys ’round here / Drinking that ice cold beer / Talkin’ ’bout girls, talkin’ ’bout trucks / Runnin’ them red dirt roads out, kicking up dust
