If times are hard, and you're not pleased with what you do
And your thoughts are in a constant déjà vu
And you're sitting there alone, and all your friends are gone
I wouldn't be too worried if I were in your shoes
Cause I have some advice for you
You gotta go back in time
You gotta go back in time
If you're feeling low and the sun won't shine
Go back in time
When a rhyme was just a rhyme
Not a cloud was in the sky
And poetry was in your mind
When you were in your prime
Yeah, you miss the world you knew
When we broke all the rules
We smoked and drank and spoke the truth
And dreamed the whole day through
You gotta go back in time
You gotta go back in time
If you're feeling low and the sun won't shine
Go back in time
Go back in time
Go back in time
The present is all that you have
And another tomorrow seems sad
When your only friend is the bed
You think that you'd be better off dead
Dead
Some things are hard to forget
But the days go by and then
You can't walk with your back forever bent
Although your hair turns gray
If times are hard
And you're not pleased with what you do
And your thoughts are in a constant déjà vu
And you're sitting there alone
And all your friends are gone
I wouldn't be too worried if I were in your shoes
Cause I have some advice for you
You gotta go back in time
You gotta go back in time
If you're feeling low and the sun won't shine
Go back in time
You gotta go back in time
You gotta go back in time
If you're feeling low and the sun won't shine
Go back in time
Go back in time
Go back in time
