The Lord Loves a Drinkin’ Man

Lyrics

[Chorus] The Lord loves a 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 good friend of mine I've been baptized 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 a drinkin' man [Verse 1] Well, the preacher man, he told me, "Boy you ain't no good" "Devil's gonna getcha, best start actin' like you should" "All the cold beer and bright lights, stayin' out all night" "Good Book, it tells me, boy, your soul's gonna burn" Momma said, "Son, you're headin' down the wrong road "They don't let honky-tonkers up in Heaven, I've been told." Don't you worry, Momma, I'll see you up in Heaven And I've been thinking 'bout it and I've come to this conclusion, now [Chorus] The Lord loves a 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 good friend of mine I've been baptized 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 a drinkin' man [Verse 2] Well, my Daddy said, "Son you're living your life all wrong" "Lightnin's gonna strike you down before too long" "That man upstairs, he don't like what you do" "When you reach those Pearly Gates, you ain't getting through" Well, I've been thinkin', got a brand new plan I'm gonna start a little Church down at the Stumble Inn Hell, that's right, I'm gonna start my own religion We'll be drinkin' and a-dancin' at the church of Hank Williams, yeah [Chorus] The Lord loves a 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 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 livin' in sin But I know the Lord loves a drinkin' man Yeah, he does [Guitar Interlude] [Chorus] The Lord loves a drinkin' man He sent honky-tonk angels to the Promised Land I hear that he can turn the water to wine Well, any man that can do that, oh, he's 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 livin' in sin But I know the Lord loves I hope he does The Lord loves a drinkin' man
