Mark Chesnutt The Lord Loves A Drinking Man Lyrics

The Lord loves the drinkin' man
He sent honky tonk angels to the promise 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 been baptized in beer I'm here to testify
I was speaking in tongue when I came home last night
Some folks say I'm livin' in sin but I know
The Lord loves the drinkin' man

The preacher man he told me boy you ain't no good
The devil's gonna getcha best start actin' like you should
Oh but cold beer and bright lights stayin' out all night
The good book it tells me boy your souls gonna burn
My mama says son your headin' down the wrong road
They don't let honky tonkers up in heaven I've been told
But don't you worry mama I'll see you up in heaven
Ya I've been thinkin' 'bout it and I've come to this conclusion now

(Chorus)

Well my daddy said son you're living your life all wrong
Lightning's gonna strike you down before too long
The man up stairs he don't like whatcha do
And when you reach those pearly gates you ain't getting' through
Well I've been thinkin' gotta a brand new plan
I'm gonna start a little church down at the stumble in
Ya that's right I'm gonna start my own religion
We'll be drinkin' and a dancin' at the church of Hank Williams ya

(Chorus)
