Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell me, doctor, where are we goin' this time?
Is this the 50s or 1999?
All I wanted to do was play my guitar and sing
[Chorus]
So take me away, I don't mind
But you'd better promise me, I'll be back in time
I gotta get back in time
[Verse 2]
Don't bet your future on one roll of the dice
Better remember, lightning never strikes twice
Please don't drive 88, don't wanna be late again
[Chorus]
So take me away, I don't mind
But you'd better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time
[Chorus]
Gotta get back in time
Get me back in time
[Bridge]
Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get back, get back
Get back, Marty
[Outro]
Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get back, get back
