Wayside/back In Time Lyrics - Gillian Welch

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, 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

Lady Antebellum Reveal The Lyrics To 'This City' 

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 

'Cause I'm sittin' here in Nashville 

With Norman's Nashville blues 

So come all you good time rounders 

Listenin' to my sound 

And drink a round to Nashville 

Before 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 is the love we made 

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
