On a lonely highway A thousand miles from home Another routine business trip Another night alone
On the local radio There's a story about a man Who claims he built a time machine and traveled distant lands
So I drove on over to see with my own eyes and met this older gentleman who took me by surprise when he said "Son won't you come on in, and take her for a ride." Just tell me where you want to go, and she'll take you back in time.
You can see the pyramids being built stone by stone You can walk with Gladiators, through the streets of Rome, You can sail across the sea, with Columbus and his men, You can go anywhere you want to go, places you've never been
And I said,
(chorus) Take me back to when I first held her hand Take me back to our very first kiss, Cause I wanna live it all over again, Oh Mister, there's nothing that I want to see more than this
He said, Are you sure son?, Cause I hate to break the news You only get one chance to ride so be careful how you choose I don't think he understands and he probably wonders, "Why?" But I can't think of a greater day than the day I met my wife
Sir, I don't mean to be rude, but can you turn on that machine and switch that dial back to the summer of '93 I want everything to be the way it was back then And I'll ask her to marry me, all over again
