[Verse 1]
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 2]
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 3]
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
[Outro]
Hey, good doctor, heaven was a drink of wine
