If you could have just an hour to sit down in talk to anyone from the past,

Someone from your memory, any one from history, that you could just bring back,

Who would it be? Who would it be?



Sit on the dock with Otis Redding,

Smoke with John Lennon,

Talk a little ball with the Babe,

Shoot the breeze with Elvis,

Ride around with Moses in a '57 Chevrolet.

If you had that kind of power,

And only had an hour with anyone from A to Z,

Who would it be?



Would you ask a lot of questions, 'like what's it like in heaven?' and 'why do the good die young?',

Or would you sit and listen, soak up all the wisdom till the sixty minutes were done.

Anyone you could dream. Who would it be?



Sip Jack Daniel's with Sinatra,

Sing with Janis Joplin,

Shoot a little bull with James Dean,

Slow dance with Ginger Rogers,

Hang out with a possum, and find out what heartache means.

If you had that kind of power,

And only had an hour with anyone from A to Z,

Who would it be?



Is it someone that you love you never told enough how much they meant to you?

Their picture's in the kitchen. Lord knows how much you miss 'em, and there's nothing that you wouldn't do.



If you had that kind of power, but only had an hour with any one from A to Z,

Who would it be?



Who would it be?
