Chorus)
The Lord loves the drinkin manSends honkey tonk angels to the promise land
I hear that he can turn water to wineAny man that can do that is a good friend of mineIve been baptized in beer, Im here to testifyI was speaking in tongues when I came home last nightSome folks say Im livin in sin, but I know
(chorus)
The Lord loves the drinkin man
The Preacher man he told me boy you aint no good
The devils gonna getcha, better start actin' like you
should
All the cold beers and bright lights, stayin out all
nightThe good book it tells me boy your souls gonna burn
My mamma said son youre headin down the wrong roadThey dont let honkey tonkers up in heaven Ive been
told Dont you worry mamma Ill see you up in heaven
Ive been thinking bout it and Ive come to this
conclusion now,
(chorus)
My daddy says son youre living your life all wrong
Lightings gonna strike you down before too long
That man upstairs he dont like what you do
When you reach those pearly gates you aint getting
throughWell Ive been thinkin, Ive got a brand new plan
Im gonna start a little church down at the Stumble
Inn
Yea thats right Im gonna start my own religion
Well be drinkin and dancin' at the church of Hank
Williams yea,
(repeat chorus)
Oh, yea I know
The Lord loves, I hope he does, the Lord loves the
drinkin man
