Faithfull Marianne - That Was The Day (nashville) lyrics

rate me

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.
