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: A B E
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: E A B A B C (key change)
Last chorus:
F -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
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
