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
