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
