Time Travelin' Man

He traveled through time, playing his country tunes His melody of life, a time machine in his room Stunned them in the nineteen twenty's, with Let It Be Me And awed them in twenty-one twenty, with a Hank Melody He fell in love in twenty-three twenty, at the Starlite Cafe And when he gave her a kiss, he found she wasn't a she, she was a he So he got back in his machine, and headed for Tennessee That's where he met Elvis, in the year of seventy three Chorus: He always kept travelin', this time travelin' man Playing the oldies, to a new kind of fan They laughed at his clothes, but applauded his toons As they listened to him playing, under the moon He traveled back home, with a star in his eye Ran into his wife, she just set there and cried He gave her a kiss, showed her his machine They both crawled in, and have never been seen Chorus: Oh! He always kept travelin', this time travelin' man Playing the oldies, to a new kind of fan They laughed at his clothes, but applauded his toons As they listened to him playing, under the moon
