Gillian Welch Wayside / Back In Time lyrics

Standin' 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 soldier's joy

Wasted on the wayside, wasted on the way
If I don't go tomorrow, you know I'm gone today

Back baby, back in time
I wanna go back when you were mine
Back baby, back in time
I wanna go back when you were mine

Black highway all night ride
Watchin' 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
Then drink around to Nashville for they tear it down

Back baby, back in time
I wanna go back when you were mine
Back baby, 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 baby, back in time
I wanna go back when you were mine
Back baby, back in time
I wanna go back when you were mine
