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 Now you'd have to admit it'd be worth a shot One stop in New York and Lennon still dreams And 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, time machine
