(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
