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 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
