Bourbon Man lyrics

(I have a very good friend in Nashville Tennessee who is a semiprofessional wino

And during one of our recent and frequent conversations

We got to talk about his religious philosophy

And as far as I could determine this is the way he feels about it)

Lord can a drunk go to heaven well frankly I don`t see why not

If the Lord loves the weak and the weary well how come he can`t love a sot

Now I don`t drink to hurt anybody why I love everybody I meet

I can quit any time but I don`t want to and in fact I quit three times last week

Now lemme tell you bout some of them preachers

Lord you know some of `em ain`t worth a dime

Why they`re flirtin` with all of them widders hmm yeah and one is a widder of mine

Oh I hear people prayin` so fancy why they`d be better off a sendin` you mail

Lord if they could`ve heard me last Sunday

Well I`d`ve prayed `em right out of that jail

Now Lord if a drunk gets to heaven to walk on that great Golden Strand

Would you give me a spot and the shade of a tree and remember I`m a bourbon man
