This event will benefit The Troy Gentry Foundation, the Opry Trust Fund, T. J. Martell Foundation, Make-A-Wish, The Journey Home project, plus scholarships and instruments for music education in Kentucky schools.
As previously reported, The Troy Gentry Foundation was recently established by the Montgomery Gentry member’s widow, Angie, and his close friends.
“Together, with some of Troy’s friends, I started The Troy Gentry Foundation,” explained Angie Gentry to All Access. “We were sharing memories together one evening and decided we wanted to do something to keep the spirit of Troy’s generous heart alive and honor his memory. Troy was taken too soon, but we felt his dreams and dedication to helping others needed to continue. He was very passionate about our military and their families, about those in need to provide for their children, cancer research, and the continuation of music education.”

“The mission of The Troy Gentry Foundation is to continue Troy’s personal beliefs: Love God, Love others,” the organization’s official website explains.

“Drink Along Song” Lyrics
There’s songs that belong when you’re rolling on an old dirt road
The wheels just seem to turn up that ole radio
Songs that make you wanna want your baby back
Nah this ain’t no song like that, no no
This is a drink along song
Everybody sing along
Pour you something strong
And chug it, shoot ‘er, sip it
Bottle, can, or cup
Turn the bottom up
Keep ’em coming all night long
It’s a drink along song
Drink along song
There’s songs that kinda wanna make you wanna change the world
Lots of songs that try to help you get the girl
Songs that make you take it back to your hometown
This one calls for one more round
This is a drink along song
Everybody sing along
Pour you something strong
And chug it, shoot ‘er, sip it
Bottle, can, or cup
Turn the bottom up
Keep ’em coming all night long
It’s a drink along song
Drink along song
Turn it up, have some fun
Go on and lose it
Tap your toe, let it go
Sway to the music
It’s a drink along song
Everybody sing along
Drink along song
This is a drink along song
Everybody sing along
Pour you something strong
And chug it, shoot ‘er, sip it
Bottle, can, or cup
Turn the bottom up
Keep ’em coming all night long
It’s a drink along song
It’s a drink along song
It’s a drink along song
Come on and drink along
