Song History

Dave began covering this song (written by Willie Nelson and originally performed by Billy Walker) solo on the Summer 2001 Tour. He occasionally has been known to include a "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" interpolation into it.

Please note that while the official DMB road page has always listed the song as "Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away," the first two words are not actually part of the song's title.
