	Story Behind the Song There was a time when a lot of country songs mentioned two sujects: drinking and Jesus. I decided to combine the two subjects and create the 'ultimate' country song. Lyrics When I was a young boy my folks would drag me off to Mass I'd sit there saying the same old prayers, waiting for the time to pass There was just one part of church that I never did mind When they'd say, "Here, have a sip of blood", and it turned out to be wine And Jesus is my drinkin' buddy and we'll get drunk tonight He's the only one who hears me talk when things ain't going right It's good to have a buddy who turns water into wine The devil might be your drinkin' buddy, but Jesus, he is mine Some folks try to sell religion knocking door to door Some folks say they'll save your soul for $25 or more Some folks say they're born again and some folks change their name But me, I found religion in a bottle of champagne And Jesus is my drinkin' buddy and we'll get drunk tonight He's the only one who hears me talk when things ain't going right It's good to have a buddy who turns water into wine The devil might be your drinkin' buddy, but Jesus, he is mine I know there are some folks who will not like this song "The Lord would never take a drink, you heathen, you are wrong!" But the same folks keep a plastic Jesus on the dashboard of their car So there's nothing wrong with saving him a stool when I'm at the bar And Jesus is my drinkin' buddy and we'll get drunk tonight He's the only one who hears me talk when things ain't going right It's good to have a buddy who turns water into wine The devil might be your drinkin' buddy, but Jesus, he is mine Satan might be your drinkin' buddy, but Jesus, he is mine Beelzebub might be your buddy, but Jesus, he is mine Amen! copyright 2000
