Time Travel and Apple Pies

[Intro] Now listen here, I got a problem… And it smells like cinnamon… [Verse 1] She’s in the kitchen, apron tied, Got that golden glow inside, Flour on her cheek, hair up high— Lord have mercy, that’s apple pie I’m pacing circles on the floor, Been through this dance a thousand times before, She says “honey, just wait your turn”— But patience ain’t a thing I’ve learned [Pre-Chorus] Clock keeps ticking, I can’t sit still, That sweet aroma’s got a will… [Chorus] Time travel and apple pies, I ain’t waiting, I improvise, If it ain’t done, I’ll jump ahead— Take a little trip instead Time travel and apple pies, Skip the wait, that’s my device, By the time you say “it’s cooled just right”— I’ve already had three bites [Verse 2] Built a machine in the garage out back, Couple wires and a timing track, Neighbor said “boy, that ain’t gonna fly”— Till I vanished for a slice of pie Came right back with a satisfied grin, Crumbs on my shirt, cinnamon on my chin, She said “how’d you get it so fast?”— I said “baby… future’s where it’s at” [Pre-Chorus] Seconds feel like hours, I confess, When that pie’s in baking progress… [Chorus] Time travel and apple pies, I ain’t waiting, I improvise, If it ain’t done, I’ll jump ahead— Take a little trip instead Time travel and apple pies, Skip the wait, that’s my device, By the time you call my name— I’ve already done the same [Bridge] “Now don’t you judge me… you’d do it too…” I’ve seen tomorrow, tasted twice, Next week’s batch was extra nice, If loving pie is wrong, you see— Then time itself’s conspiring with me [Final Chorus] Time travel and apple pies, Sweetest thing you can devise, Jump ahead, don’t think it through— Future’s tasting mighty good Time travel and apple pies, Every slice a sweet surprise, If you bake it, I won’t wait— I’ll just skip ahead through fate [Outro] Now darlin’… don’t ask where it went…
