Heaven Was A Drink Of Wine - Merle Haggard

That psycho, that 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

Heaven was a drink of wine

That good doctor said, «Look at all

These ink spots and tell me what you see

Could I help it if they all look like

Big ol' broken hearts to me?»

Ah, my friends in Cane’ll tell you

Ol' Haggard ain’t a drinking kind

But when she left me I went to hell

And heaven was a drink of wine

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 for gone

Hey, good doctor, I’ve got something

You can’t find in my mind

When she left me I went to hell

Heaven was a drink of wine

Hey, good doctor

Heaven was a drink of wine
