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
