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.
