I've been away from the trivia for quite a while now. Still meaning to repost that Hank Snow edition I've been meaning to repost. But I'm not inspired yet, too damned tired from work and from being sick this week. So I'll steal a cheater.
I'm feeling a bit better after an intestinal bug earlier in the week but today was kind of ugly, in the form of an overly long meeting today that garnered me some hellalotta action items for tomorrow. So I was unlaxing with a beer and cleaning out old emails from the 800 billion in my uncleanedout inbox and came across one that I had to reread. Led me to here, one from KG that I'd forgotten about. So I'm stealing it in its entirety. Well, except for #11, which I just searched on and which I heard for the first time this evening (vid after the questions).
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration, KG. I did a Jim Croce before, and may well do another, but for tonight here is just a bit to have fun with:
1. You carry it like your daddy did, what is it? And what are you doing?
2. Who is too much to believe, with an extra pack of cigarettes wrapped up in his t-shirt sleeve? What do his tattoos say? And, what does he drive on Sundays?
3. Where did you live for about a year? And how did you feel?
4. While Leroy was shooting dice, who was sitting at the end of the bar?
5. Who is a honky-tony, little bit funky ex-marine? And where does he work? (Bonus Who does he work with?
6. What family did the man down town, smokin’ on a big cigar, think you were from? And how did you spend Friday night?
7. When the bad folks all get together at night, who do they call boss? Why?
8. If the number is old and faded, where is she living? And who is she living with?
9. If the words came out wrong, what will you have to do?
10. You might not believe it’s true, but who is working at this end of niagara falls?
And here is the video for the (definitely NSFW) Number 11 (erroneously attributed at the link as a St. Paddy's Day tribute):

Five and a half out of ten (missed 1/2 on Numma Won). Good goin', dear! Not bad for being on cold meds (and please get better!)
1) a name
Julie, you made me cry. :(
(Not really. But I was all excited until I got to the comments.)
2. Rapid Roy's got a tattoo that says "baby" and another one that just says "hey", and every Sunday, he's a dirt track demon in a '57 Chevrolet
5. McGill at the Top Hat Bar and Grill, and he works with a waitress, the name of Lil.
6. he thought you were a Rockafella', and you spent the night trying to get high off an ounce of oregano.
I guess I should have read the intro where you stole these from me.
Yeah, well I wasn't feeling too creative. But thanks for that heads up on "Ball of Kerrymuir", that was righteous.
