Chorus)
The Lord loves the drinkinâ 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 mineIâve been baptized in beer, Iâm here to testifyI was speaking in tongues when I came home last nightSome folks say Iâm livinâ in sin, but I know
(chorus)
The Lord loves the drinkinâ man
The Preacher man he told me boy you ainât no good
The devils gonna getcha, better start actin' like you
should
All the cold beers and bright lights, stayinâ out all
nightThe good book it tells me boy your soulâs gonna burn
My mamma said son youâre headinâ down the wrong roadThey donât let honkey tonkers up in heaven Iâve been
told Donât you worry mamma Iâll see you up in heaven
Iâve been thinking âbout it and Iâve come to this
conclusion now,
(chorus)
My daddy says son youâre living your life all wrong
Lightingâs gonna strike you down before too long
That man upstairs he donât like what you do
When you reach those pearly gates you ainât getting
throughWell Iâve been thinkinâ, Iâve got a brand new plan
Iâm gonna start a little church down at the Stumble
Inn
Yea thatâs right Iâm gonna start my own religion
Weâll be drinkinâ 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
drinkinâ man
