That Was The Day (nashville)

Going home in a trailer filled with canada dry,

Looking forward to being with you.

Got in to the broadway and what do i find ?

Some lady's been sleeping there, too.



I was dreamin' of our meetin' all down the m1

'cause i hadn't seen you for so long.

Then out of the blue, something came down and warned me

And i sat there and wrote down this song.



That was the day that the coke came to nashville,

That was the day i laughed till i cried.

That was the day all my dreams turned to ashes

And i lost my blues and i smiled.



Well, i walked in the door and i heard you two laughing,

Just like i'd hoped that we'd do.

So i went up the stairs, left your keys on the table,

And i wrote on the mirror, 'we're through!'.



That was the day that the coke came to nashville,

That was the day that i had, honey.

That was the day that the coke came to nashville,

And i've got the blues out just bad.



Going home on a train, going back to my mother,

Feeling better already, keep telling myself:

'don't you cry, you'll forget him and find a new lover,

So let's sit back and drink to his health.'



That was the day that the coke came to nashville,

That was the day i laughed till i cried.

That was the day that i felt my heart breaking,

Ain't it funny, after all i've survived.

Ain't it funny, after all i've survived.
