)[1] The song tells the story of a chance meeting between two ex-lovers at "the Silver Spoon Café" but when the man tries to rekindle the romance, she dismisses him in the same cavalier way he did her years earlier.
It was written by Dennis Morgan, Charles Quillen and Kye Fleming, as Coe, who continued to write songs of high quality, nonetheless relied on outside writers to get him in the charts ("The Ride", "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile") as the decade rolled on.
Like many before him, Coe tries his vocal hand at the standard "My Elusive Dreams", which was co-written by his producer Billy Sherrill and was most famously recorded by David Houston and Tammy Wynette in 1967.
Sherrill's most famous client, George Jones, performs the recitation on Dean Dillon's "Don’t Cry Darlin’", which was released as a single and peaked at #29.
Jones, who at the time of the recording was finally becoming sober after a career-long bender, adds authenticity to the story of a man who is "drunk, totally drained, on the verge of going crazy" and "on the edge of insane".
