(tim mensy/monty criswell/tony martin)
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 jfk
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
