Heaven Was A Drink Of Wine Lyrics - 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
