Bourbon Man

<br>(I have a very good friend in Nashville Tennessee who is a semiprofessional wino<br>And during one of our recent and frequent conversations<br>We got to talk about his religious philosophy<br>And as far as I could determine this is the way he feels about it)<br>Lord can a drunk go to heaven well frankly I don`t see why not<br>If the Lord loves the weak and the weary well how come he can`t love a sot<br>Now I don`t drink to hurt anybody why I love everybody I meet<br>I can quit any time but I don`t want to and in fact I quit three times last week<br>Now lemme tell you bout some of them preachers<br>Lord you know some of `em ain`t worth a dime<br>Why they`re flirtin` with all of them widders hmm yeah and one is a widder of mine<br>Oh I hear people prayin` so fancy why they`d be better off a sendin` you mail<br>Lord if they could`ve heard me last Sunday<br>Well I`d`ve prayed `em right out of that jail<br>Now Lord if a drunk gets to heaven to walk on that great Golden Strand<br>Would you give me a spot and the shade of a tree and remember I`m a bourbon man
