The Lord loves the drinkin' man.
|
He sends honky-tonk angels to the Promised Land,
|
I hear that he can turn 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 the drinkin' man.
|
|
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.
|
I've been thinking 'bout it and I've come to this conclusion, now:
|
|
The Lord loves the drinkin' man.
|
He sends honky-tonk angels to the Promised Land,
|
I hear that he can turn 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 the drinkin' man.
|
|
Well, my Daddy said: "Son you're living your life all wrong.
|
"Lightins 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.
|
Yeah, that's right, I'm gonna start my own religion,
|
We'll be drinkin' and dancin' at the church of Hank Williams, yeah.
|
|
The Lord loves the drinkin' man.
|
He sends honky-tonk angels to the Promised Land,
|
I hear that he can turn 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 the drinkin' man.
|
Yeah, he does.
|
|
The Lord loves the drinkin' man.
|
He sends honky-tonk angels to the Promised Land,
|
I hear that he can turn 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 the drinkin' man.
