Wish I Had a Time Machine

Wish I had a time machine
I'd go back, change everything
Try again to make you stay
I'd go back and found a way

But I'm stuck here in this one horse town
Ain't no time machines around
Gone is gone and that's a fact
And she ain't never coming back

Wish I had a laser beam
One that cut precise and clean
Maybe have brain surgery
Zap away her memories
     
But I'm stuck here in this one horse town
Ain't no laser beams around
Gone is gone and that's a fact
And she ain't never coming back

Wish I had a rocket ship
Hop aboard and take a trip
Far beyond the atmosphere
Leave my cares and worries here

But I'm stuck here in this one horse town
Ain't no rocket ships around
Gone is gone and that's a fact
And she ain't never coming back
