Lord Loves the Drinkin Man

The Lord loves the drinkin man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promised 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 been baptised in beer
I'm here to testify
I was speakin in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I'm livin in sin but i know
The Lord loves the drinkin' man

Yea the preacher man he told me
"Boy you ain't no good
The devil's gonna getcha
Best start actin like you should"
Oh the cold beer, and bright lights, stayin' out all night
Good book it tells me boy your souls gonna burn

My momma says son you're headin' down the wrong road
They don't let honky tonkers up in heaven I've been told
Well don't you worry momma
I'll see you up in heaven
Yea I've been thinkin' bout it and I've come to this conclusion now

The Lord loves the drinkin' man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promised 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 been baptised in beer
I'm here to testify
I was speakin' in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I'm livin' in sin but i know
The Lord loves the drinkin' man

Well my daddy said "Son, you're livin' your life all wrong
Lightnin's gonna strike you down before too long
The man upstairs, he don't like what you do
And when you reach those pearly gates
You ain't gettin' through

Well I've been thinkin', gotta brand new plan
I'm gonna start a little church down at the stumble-in
Yea thats right, I'm gonna start my own religion
We'll be drinkin' and dancin' at the church of Hank Williams, yea

The Lord loves the drinkin' man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promised 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 been baptised in beer
I'm here to testify
I was speakin' in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I'm livin' in sin but I know
The Lord loves the drinkin' man

The Lord loves the drinkin' man
He sent honky tonk angels
To the promised 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 been baptised in beer
I'm here to testify
I was speakin' in tongues when I came home last night
Some folks say I'm livin' in sin

But I know
The Lord loves the drinkin' man
Oh yea I know the Lord loves
I hope he does
The Lord loves the drinkin' man
