Texty: Kevin Fowler. 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 tongue 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 dont you worry momma

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

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"

Yea thats right, I'm gonna start my own religion
We'll be drinkin and dancin at the church of Hank Williams, yea
