Time Machine Lyrics

Time Machine Song Chart

This song is a reflection on youth, asking the listener to revisit those idyllic memories. Devon Allman got the idea for the song when he was out for a run. He immediately turned back so he could write down the song before he lost it. "It was in rural south-central Tennessee, a little Amish town," he said. "I ran straight up to the front porch, and as fast as I could write, the words were coming. It just wrote itself right there in about ten minutes. It was a gift. It's wild how sometimes it just comes and maybe with the first lyric all the other ones are birthed out of that one line. So 'come with me, let's take a ride,' could have really gone a totally different way but the next line is 'through the best years of your life.' So it's like, okay, this is a song about reminiscing." (Here's our full Devon Allman interview .)

The son of Gregg Allman, Devin released albums with his bands Honeytribe and Royal Southern Brotherhood, but Turquoise was his first release under his own name as a solo artist. This song is an example of the album's theme: Home.
