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

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 tongue 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
