Bourbon Man Lyrics - Tom T. Hall

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 wider, mm yeah 

And one is a wider 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'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
