The Lord Loves The Drinkin' Man

Chorus: -0-2-4-(E string) 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've been baptized in beer I'm here to testify I was speakin' in tongues when I came home last night Some folks say I'm livin' in sin But I know the Lord loves the drinkin' man Verse 1: Well 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 soul's gonna burn Momma said son you're headin' down the wrong road They don't let honky-tonkers up in Heaven I've been told Don't you worry momma, I'll see you up in Heaven I've been thinking bout it and I've come to this conclusion CHORUS Break: Verse 2: Well my daddy said son you're livin' your life all wrong Lightning's gonna strike you down before too long The man upstairs, he don't like what you do When you reach those pearly gates you ain't getting through Well I've been thinking, got a brand new plan I'm gonna start a little church down at the stumble-inn Yeah that's right gonna start my own religion We'll be drinkin' and a dancin' at the church of Hank Williams Solo: (key change) Last chorus: -1-3-5-(E string) 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've been baptized in beer I'm here to testify I was speakin' in tongues when I came home last night Some folks say I'm livin' in sin But I know the Lord loves, I hope He does The Lord loves the drinkin' man
