Way Back Then Lyrics by John Prine

Way Back Then 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 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.
