Way Back When
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was waiting for a connection
I was runnin' out of time
so I left my home in St. John and I followed the road signs
this is where I sleep at night
I hope it's no surprise
there's less to emptiness than meets the eye
saw my wife and child last outside the wrecking ball
I lined up like a ghost with my guitar
wish I knew then what I know right now
when I knocked on your door
wish I knew now what I knew back then
but that was way back when
now there's a Santos on the gas pump
and a girl in my motel
she says, "the Lord covers for those who break the rules"
I walked down the highway just to feel the desert air
and a billboard said, "the way to peace is clear"
wish I knew then what I know right now
when I knocked on your door
wish I knew now what I knew back then
but that was way back when
someday i'll find my way and maybe
love will be there
love will be there
love
wish I knew then what I know right now
when I knocked on your door
wish I knew now what I knew back then
but that was way back, that was way back, that was way back when
