| If I could invent a time machine
|
| I’d go back and change a few things
|
| I’d be there that cold and rainy night
|
| To make sure Patsy Cline didn’t fly
|
| And I would divert a Dallas parade
|
| And for a little longer we’d have J.F.K
|
| And on my way back from the past to the now
|
| I would swing by and stop off at our house
|
| And I wouldn’t say what I said on the day you left me
|
| What a better place this world would be
|
| If I had a time machine
|
| Don’t know the danger or the consequence
|
| I might create if I altered events
|
| But take a look at this ol' world we’ve got
|
| You’d have to admit it’d be worth a shot
|
| One stop in New York and Lennon still dreams
|
| Two stops in Memphis and long live two kings
|
| And on my way back from the past to the now
|
| I would swing by and stop off at our house
|
| And I wouldn’t say what I said on the day you left me
|
| What a better place this world would be
|
| If I had a time machine
|
| What a better place this world would be
|
| If I had a time machine
|
| A time machine
|
| Oh, a time machine |
