Lyrics:
Time
If he could travel time
He would have been on time
Instead of making rhyme
He didn't need a band
He was a mountain man

Oil
The national turmoil
And hiding in the soil
A singer and his spoil
A-just-a-singing thanks
I've got my own gas tanks

And there's no time for the man
Who has sung his bar
And there's no time
And there's no time for the man called Czar

Blue
Extraordinary blue
Ten million porthole views
They're saying on the news
The Russians just said no
You can't go

And there's no time for the man
Who has sung his bar
And there's no time
And there's no time for the man called Czar


Notes:
John Denver was invited by the former Soviet Union in 1988 to go into space and visit MIR, at a cost of $10 million US. He declined and tried to negotiate a better price until the Russians withdrew their offer. Alternative stories suggest that Denver ultimately declined so that he might stay at home with his family.

Quotes:
"John Denver is an accomplished pilot, and he offered ten million dollars to the NASA agency, and also ten million dollars to what was then the Soviet space agency, just so that they would take him up into space. He was denied by both, and I kind of feel bad for him because, even though the money may have been better used for charitable purposes, I sort of admire a really wealthy person like that who tries to go out an do something really weird with his money."
- Frank Black, VOX Issue 30, March 1993
