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
