Love George “Possum” Jones, but you’re mixing metaphors here. The song you’re thinking about (if I may be so presumptuous) is “One More Last Chance”:
First she hid my glasses
‘Cause she knows that I can’t see
She said you ain’t goin’ nowhere boy
‘Til you spend a little time with me
Then the boys called from the honky tonk
Said there’s a party goin’ on down here
Well she might’ve took my car keys
But she forgot about my old John Deere

A great song by the great Vince Gill…
Same episode inspired both Possum and Vince Gil but you’re right: Gil’s recounting is better.
