[Verse 1]
I miss the way that a cigarette could
Make a cup of coffee taste twice as good
I miss the sound of my old guitar
The way it echoed in an empty bar

[Verse 2]
I'm not livin' for a piece of the pie
I'm not livin' some domestic lie
I'm not thinkin' 'bout the distant past
If I'm trying to come up with first and last

[Pre-Chorus]
Pushing forty now with little to show
So I'm up and moving out of Ontario

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna turn back time
Oh, I'm gonna turn back time
Oh, I'm gonna get what's mine
Oh, I'm gonna turn back time

[Verse 3]
To have it all and have it all go away
To join a band that never plays
To write a song that nobody hears
It's just another bad idea
[Pre-Chorus]
Pushing forty now with little to show
So I'm up and moving out of Ontario

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm gonna turn back time
Oh, I'm gonna turn back time
Oh, I'm gonna get what's mine
Oh, I'm gonna turn back time
