Lyric 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.
