Merle Haggard — Heaven Was a Drink of Wine

[Verse] That psychoed-out psychologist Asked me about my drinking ways Every question that he asked me All related back on to my childhood days But if the truth was known I never took the drinking long, long as she was mine But when she left me, I went to hell And heaven was a drink of wine [Verse] That good doctor said, "Look at all these ink spots And tell me what you see" Could I help it if they all looked like Big old broken hearts to me? All my friends and Ken will tell you Old Hag ain't the drinking kind But when she left me, I went to hell And heaven was a drink of wine [Chorus] Get back, get back Get on back and leave me alone Can't you see that you can't help A man that's just forgone? [Verse] Hey, good doctor, I've got something You can't find in my mind When she left me, I went to hell And heaven was a drink of wine Hey, good doctor, heaven was a drink of wine
