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
