John Prine - Way Back ThenLyrics

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
