Traveling Back
If I could only travel back in time
I guess that’s what most of us old folks say
So we could rearrange everything
and have life turn out a different way
I would like things to be the way they were
when we had sharper minds and nimble hands
We were a little more passionate
about love and trying to make our stand
Now that I really think about it all
knowing now what I did not know back then
I think no matter how I’d wish to change
I’d wind up making those same mistakes again
I think I will leave well enough alone
maybe just let my old memories last
Spend time with family making new ones
so they’ll wish to travel back to their past
