Time Machine
Alex Key Lyrics

My momma gave me my first car when I was sixteen
My mother gifted me my first car when I was just sixteen years old

I still got it, man, I couldn't ever part with that thing
I still have it with me till this day because it holds great personal value

It might look like it's just an old car to you. But I can tell you now, there's a lot more it can do
Although it may seem like an ordinary old car to you, it holds a lot of sentimental value and memories for me

It use to take me and my buddies for a ride Now, when I'm missing them, I just get in And it takes me back in time
Previously, my friends and I would go for rides in it, but nowadays, when I miss them, I take it out for a ride and it helps me relive old memories

And I seem 'em all sitin' there in the seats Laughing out loud, looking at me, if I listen close I here their voices, singing through my engine noise Way too loud, a little off key But to here it now it sounds good to me
I can vividly recall my friends sitting in the car next to me, laughing and enjoying their time together. Even now, I can hear their voices singing along with the music, a little off-key but it still sounds good to me

I didn't know it back then but it seems, We were ridin' around with the windows down The base too loud in a real life time machine
Back then, I didn't realize it, but driving around with loud music and the windows down in that car was like travelling through time, reliving moments and creating memories

That car tried its best to make me look cool In front of the girl I loved in high school I got my fist kiss parked in it by the football field I still feel her lips on mine anytime I touch the wheel
That car was my wingman when I was in love with a girl from high school. It was where we shared our first kiss, and even now, memories of that moment come flooding back when I'm behind the wheel

It took our buts to prom on senior year I still see her finishin' her makeup Over in that pull down mirror
That car took us to our senior prom, and it's where I remember watching her finish her makeup before the big event

And I see her sittin' there in the passenger seat Her pretty eyes lookin' back at me, if I listen close I hear her voice singin' through my engine noise A little too loud to Bobby McGee I can hear her now, harmonizing with me
Even now, I can still see her sitting in the passenger seat, singing out loud to the music. It always seemed like she was a bit too loud for the song, but I couldn't help but harmonize with her

Well we grew up and we moved on with our lives But it's still nice to go back in time when I take a drive And I see 'em all sittin' there in the seats, Laughing out loud, lookin' at me, if I listen close I here there voices singin' through my engine noise Way too loud, a little off key, but to hear it now It sounds pretty damn sweet
We have all grown up and moved on, but it's always nice to take a trip down memory lane when I'm driving this car again. I can still hear their voices loud and clear, singing along with the music, and to me, it sounds amazing

I didn't know it back then, but it seems We were ridin' around with the windows down The base too loud In this thing mama gave me I never dreamed, that it ever be, a time machine
It's hard to imagine that the car my mother gave me could transport me back in time like a time machine, but looking back, our rides with the windows down and the music blasting in that car were like nothing else. It's a true classic and a treasured part of my life
