Way Back Then (John Prine)
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 the 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, and bring it home to you
Lately, I see 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 set a spell
Watch the ponies dance around the empty wishing well
Night is 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 the way back then
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 the 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, and bring it home to you
Lately, I see 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 set a spell
Watch the ponies dance around the empty wishing well
Night is 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 the way back then
