lyrics

Honky Tonk Women, Country Music, And Beer

Verse 1:
My mama was a saint
and Daddy tried hard,
but he drank too much whiskey
and he liked to play his cards.
Mama went to church
and Daddy would never go.
Mama and Daddy
taught me all I know.

Chorus:
I know the Bible's
the word of the Lord
and sinners are liable
to die by his sword,
but I'm in Heaven
when I'm right here
with honky tonk women,
country music, and beer.

Verse 2:
Mama told me sin
was not her boy,
but my daddy always said,
"Enjoy, son, enjoy".
Now that I'm a man
I know they taught me well
cause Mama's in Heaven
and Dad's still raisin' Hell.

Repeat Chorus:

Bridge
Heaven sounds so nice, but it's just too far away
and the angel I'm holdin' now told me she'll stay.
When the beer's this cold and the band's so tight
I've got all the Heaven I'm gonna need tonight.

Repeat Chorus:
