Back in Time Lyrics

Artist: Huey Lewis and The News

Tell me, doctor, where are we going this time
Is this the 50's, or 1999
All I wanted to do - was play my guitar and sing

So take me away, I don't mind
But you better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time

Don't bet your future, on one roll of the dice
Better remember, lightning never strikes twice
Please don't drive at eight, don't wanna be late again

So take me away, I don't mind
But you better promise me, I'll be back in time
Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get me back in time

Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get back, get back

Get back Marty

Gotta get back in time
Gotta get back in time
Get back, get back

The lyric is 'Please don't drive eighty-eight' in reference to the 88 MPH needed to go back.

I was thinking 'please don't drive at eight' didn't make sense!!!

i love back to the future!

um it's Please don't drive eighty-eight, not please don't drive at eight haha that doesn't make any sense. Love this song and all three movies!

You know, I've seen those movies so many times, heard this song even more often, and only heard the "Get Back Marty" tonight. Funny

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far much more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

lmao!! Made me crack up P. Allen
You regular Patrick Bateman you!

I always thought it said "Please don't drive and eat" needless to say I've been pretty confused, until now

I am a huge DeLorean and back to the future enthusiast and this is one of my favorites, any one got any outher songs that deal with one of those ( excluding power of love)

Came down here to mention the correction, but I see everyone else has already. When are they going to fix it? 88! He needs enough road to reach 88!

I never noticed the "get back Marty" until now either.

by Marty Mcfly on 1/10/2014 5:55pm
Max is absolutely correct in his correction.

I am also a huge Back 2 The Future fan, and I love any song that has to do with time travel. I also love all 3 movies (but have only watched #1).

Emmett, is that you?
