Lord Loves The Drinkin' Man Testo

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 mineI❝ve been baptized in beer, I❝m here to testifyI was speaking in tongues when I came home last nightSome folks say I❝m livin❝ in sin, but I know
(chorus)
The Lord loves the drinkin❝ man
The Preacher man he told me boy you ain❝t 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 soul❝s gonna burn
My mamma said son you❝re headin❝ down the wrong roadThey don❝t let honkey tonkers up in heaven I❝ve been
told Don❝t you worry mamma I❝ll see you up in heaven
I❝ve been thinking ❝bout it and I❝ve come to this
conclusion now,
(chorus)

My daddy says son you❝re living your life all wrong
Lighting❝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
throughWell I❝ve been thinkin❝, I❝ve got a brand new plan
I❝m gonna start a little church down at the Stumble
Inn
Yea that❝s right I❝m gonna start my own religion
We❝ll 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
