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
