Song | The Time Machine |
Artist | Collin Raye |
Album | I Think About You |
Lyrics:Gary Burr Music:Gary Burr | |
He circled and stared | |
Nervous and scared | |
He knew both the thrill and the cost | |
But he didn't think twice | |
This amazing device | |
Was his last chance to see what he'd lost | |
If time is really a river | |
And upstream's where he needed to be | |
He set his sights on the past | |
Finished his glass | |
And went back in history | |
To the casual eye it's a bar stool | |
But it's really much more than it seems | |
A few drinks and then | |
She'll be with him again | |
As he sits on the time machine | |
Like all pioneers | |
He swallowed his fears | |
And watched the whole room fade to black | |
He's dying to go | |
But he's no fool, he knows | |
How hard it will be to come back | |
But tonight he's tired of the lonely | |
And tomorrow will not be the cure | |
So he'll just slip away | |
Find yesterday | |
And spend one more night with her | |
Now as far as these customers can tell | |
He's just one more fool who talks to himself | |
But every man in this place would line up | |
If they knew what that seat really was (but) | |
To the casual eye it's a bar stool | |
But it's really much more than it seems | |
A few drinks and then | |
She'll be with him again | |
As he sits on the time machine | |
Just a few drinks and then | |
She'll be with him again | |
As he sits on the time machine |

He circled and stared | |
Nervous and scared | |
He knew both the thrill and the cost | |
But he didn' t think twice | |
This amazing device | |
Was his last chance to see what he' d lost | |
If time is really a river | |
And upstream' s where he needed to be | |
He set his sights on the past | |
Finished his glass | |
And went back in history | |
To the casual eye it' s a bar stool | |
But it' s really much more than it seems | |
A few drinks and then | |
She' ll be with him again | |
As he sits on the time machine | |
Like all pioneers | |
He swallowed his fears | |
And watched the whole room fade to black | |
He' s dying to go | |
But he' s no fool, he knows | |
How hard it will be to come back | |
But tonight he' s tired of the lonely | |
And tomorrow will not be the cure | |
So he' ll just slip away | |
Find yesterday | |
And spend one more night with her | |
Now as far as these customers can tell | |
He' s just one more fool who talks to himself | |
But every man in this place would line up | |
If they knew what that seat really was but | |
To the casual eye it' s a bar stool | |
But it' s really much more than it seems | |
A few drinks and then | |
She' ll be with him again | |
As he sits on the time machine | |
Just a few drinks and then | |
She' ll be with him again | |
As he sits on the time machine |
