Tom T. Hall - 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
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

Tom T. Hall Bourbon Man Comments
I'm a trucker from Arkansas, was in New Jersey and I stopped in a bar. He asked what I wanted, I said whiskey. Which? I said Evan Williams. He scowled and said, " never heard of it."
Wide eyed, I asked him how long he'd been tending bar.
"30 years!" He says.
You never HEARD of Evan Williams, the oldest distillery in Kentucky?!?
I still don't know if they didn't distribute it up there, or he was lying, or what. I asked if he heard of Jack Daniels, he acted insulted and said, " of Course I have!!" I hate that part of Texas
Bar keep, a shot of George Dickel, please sir.
