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
