The Lord Loves The Drinking Man

The Lord loves the drinking man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promise land
I hear that he can turn the water to wine
Any man that can do that oh he is a good friend of mine
I’ve been baptized in beer, I’m here to testify
I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I’m living in sin but I know the Lord loves the drinking man

Well the preacher man he told me boy you ain’t no good
The devils gonna getcha best start acting like you should
Oh, the cold beer and bright lights, staying out all night
Good book it tells me boy your souls going to burn
Momma says son you heading down the wrong road
They don’t let honky tonkers up in heaven I’ve been told
But don’t you worry momma, I see you up in heaven
I’ve been thinking bout and I come to this conclusion now

The Lord loves the drinking man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promise land
I hear that he can turn the water to wine
Any man that can do that oh he’s a good friend of mine
I’ve been baptized in beer, I’m here to testify
I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I’m living in sin but I know the Lord loves the drinking man

Well my Daddy said son your living your life all wrong
Lighting going to strike you down before to long
The man upstairs he don’t like what you do
When you reach those pearly gates you aint getting threw
Well I’ve been thinking got a brand new plan
I’m going to start a little church down at the Stumble Inn
Yeah that’s right, I’m going to start my own religion
Well be drinking and a dancing at the church of Hank Williams yah

The Lord loves the drinking man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promise land
I hear that he can turn the water to wine
any man that can do that oh he’s a good friend of mine
I’ve been baptized in beer, I’m here to testify
I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I’m living in sin but I know the Lord loves the drinking man
Yeah he does

The Lord loves the drinking man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promise land
I hear that he can turn the water to wine
Well any man that can do that oh he’s a good friend of mine
I’ve been baptized in beer, I’m here to testify
I was speaking in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I’m living in sin but I know the Lord loves, I hope he does, the Lord loves the drinking man
