Way Back Then

Song Way Back Then
Artist John Prine
Album The Missing Years

Lyrics

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
Baby's sleeping
Brother is on the run
I am out undoing
All the good
I've doneIf 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 didThe 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
