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
