That Was The Day (nashville) Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

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.
