Story Behind The Song
We've all imagined going back in time and correcting a multitude of mistakes. This is something I do often for fun (sometimes torture) I like to think of words spoken that I would take back, and things I wish I had said more clearly and lovingly, including self- talk. Mostly I would erase all the pain of loved ones I hurt.
Song Description

Lyrics
If I had a time machine - I'd travel to my past
I'd be home for dinner those machines are fast
I'd find myself and tell myself to live beyond all fear
try to tell the truth and never be ashamed of tears!
I'd be stronger, I'd be kinder
More gentle and wise
See situations - through another's eyes
I'd pay more attention - learn how to flirt
Erase all the pain of the loved ones I hurt!
Chorus:
If I could could it all again - my friend
Oh what a life I'd lead!
I'd see every angle and dangerous curve
Know when to duck - know when to swerve
If I could do it all again!
Be more authentic - less phony and fake
Ditch the mean guy sooner
Give my head a shake
Watch less television -take out the trash
Wouldn't cause ripples -I'd make a big splash!
(Chorus)
Bridge:
There'll be no time travel for this little soul
I've got too much baggage to haul
Besides you can't book online
You pay extra to dine
Though I hear my past is lovely in the fall
Would I do it all?
(Chorus)
Tag:
I think time travel might be fun
Won't mess with the time continuum
I don't know if I'd do it all again - don't know
if I - would do it all again!
