Gillian Welch - Wayside/Back In Time lyrics

Standing on the corner with a nickel or a dime

There use to be a rail car to take you down the line

Too much beer and whiskey to ever be employed

And when I got to Nashville, it was too much soldiers joy

Wasted on the wayside, wasted on the way

If I don't go tomorrow, you know I'm gone today.

Back babe, back in time

I wanna go back when you were mine

Back babe, back in time

I wanna go back when you were mine.

Black highway all night ride

Watching the times fall away to the side

Clear channel way down low

Is comin' in loud and my mind let go.

Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall

If I can't have you all the time, I won't have none at all

Oh, I wish I was in Frisco in a brand new pair of shoes

I'm sittin' here in Nashville with Norman's Nashville blues

So come all you good time rounders listenin' to my sound

And then drink a round to Nashville for they tear it down.

Back babe, back in time

I wanna go back when you were mine

Back babe, back in time

I wanna go back when you were mine

Hard weather, drivin' slow

Buggies and the hats in town for the show

Oh darlin, the songs they played

All I got left of lovin' me.

Back babe, back in time

I wanna go back when you were mine

Back babe, back in time

I wanna go back when you were mine...
