Country music is never complete without the drunken country songs on Jack Daniel’s. These drinking songs are one of the basic themes of the genre, just like heartbreak, infidelity, and incarceration, and even considered an American institution. Some of these contain beer, moonlight, and most often the popular Old Time No. 7 Brand Whiskey, Jack Daniel’s signature charcoal Tennessee whiskey. This 150 year old brand has been country music’s staunchest companion through all of life’s pains and struggles.

4. Jack Daniel’s, you lied to me again by Ray Stevens
One of the many things to experience with Jack Daniel’s is that it gives you that immense confidence that makes you think your life is so well organized. And Ray Stevens sings about that damn self-confidence that gives him the courage to choose women only to realize that he doesn’t really like them. All he could do was say, “Jack Daniel’s, you lied to me again.” “
5. Johnnie Walker, Old Grand-Dad, Jack Daniels and You by Dottie West
On the other hand, Dottie West takes us from a different perspective of being married by the bottle.

7. Sue Jack Daniels by Reverend Horton Heat
This song might rock the aggressive tunes, but it’s country at heart. And unlike the complications of life with Jack Daniel’s that all the other songs say, “Sue Jack Daniels” is essentially the same old bar brawls. Sometimes that’s all there is to drink.
8. The Night Ole Jack Daniels Meet John 3:16 by James Payne
But on the other hand, there are those who recount their successes and how they are now finally clean. One of those true stories is that of Payne when one day in 1986 he was holding a Bible in one hand and a glass of whiskey in the other. He looked for hope and found himself giving up that drink.
9. Jack Daniels and Jesus by Chase Rice
