That Was The DayGoing home in a trailer filled with canada dryLooking 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 |
