Lyrics John Prine – Way Back Then
Text:
Night is falling
We’re doing the things we do
You are acting just like me
I’m acting just like you
Do you remember
When you were my friend?
That’s the way I’d like things
Just like way back then
When you were my friend?
That’s the way I’d like things
Just like way back then
Baby’s sleeping
Brother is on the run
I am out undoing
All the good I’ve done
If you loved me
Tell you what I would do
Wrap the world in silver foil
Bring it home to you.
Lately I feel
That I can’t pretend
I may never ever see
The likes of you again
I take a walk, I come back home
Then I sit a spell
Watch the ponies dance around
The empty wishing well.
Night has fallen
I’ve said the things I did
The only baby sleeping
Is when I was a kid
Do you remember
When you were my friend?
That’s the way I’d like things
Just like way back then.
Just like way back then.
