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

The Preacher man he told me boy you ain¡¯t no good
|
The devils gonna getcha, better start actin' like you
|

All the cold beers and bright lights, stayin¡¯ out all
|

|
My mamma said son you¡¯re headin¡¯ down the wrong roadThey don¡¯t let honkey tonkers up in heaven I¡¯ve been
