' ...A WAYS...'
Hello friends,
could someone explain to me the meaning of this 'WAYS'
I have found on this paragraph?:
'On the way back to the studio I was thinking that if I had to do this again, I would have brought somebody to New Orleans with me, somebody that WENT BACK A WAYS - someone who I liked as a musician, ...'
Thanks in advance, Jo.
