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
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
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
