Roses and a Time Machine Lyrics


I tried ice-cold
Silver Bullet, Cuervo Gold
But it don't seem to fix the situation
I tried self-help
Got a hundred books up on my shelf
I've practiced Transcendental MeditationBut she's gone
She's still goneCHORUS:
I need somethin' that'll take me back to the night she left
Rewind the sound of every step
I wanna watch her walking backwards back to me
I need somethin' that'll stop the world, throw it in reverse
Undo the wrongs, unsay the words
What I really need are roses and a time machineNow I'm on Craigslist
Looking for Deloreans
And brushing up on my edumacation
Turns out there's time, space
Black holes that lead back to the place
Before I made a mess of our relationsREPEAT CHORUSNow don't say, it's impossible

No way (X3)REPEAT CHORUSRoses and a time machine (X2)

Bentley's musical style is considered to be more traditional than many of his contemporaries and often contains traditional themes of lost or forbidden love, drinking and cheating. "Lot of leavin' left to do", one of his biggest singles, is also reminiscent of Waylon Jennings' style of Outlaw country with Western Swing influences.
