Sounded Good at the Time

Standing by the door checking my hair

Waiting on you to take me nowhere

We were always looking for a rock and roll Saturday night

We're sitting on hold with a radio station

Listen all night to hear my dedication

A song to tell the whole town you were mine

We sing, like we wrote every word to the whole damn thing

Like nothing would ever change and we danced

Like time was really slipping through our hands

Oh, when you said I love you, you might have been lying

But it sure sounded good at the time

Just a hand me down Pontiac

See how many friends we could pile in the back

Saved all summer for a ticket on the front row

Didn't have a plan and we ran out of money

Car broke down but it's still kind of funny

Cause we hitched a ride with some hippy guy

And barely made it to the show

We sang, like we wrote every word to the whole damn thing

Like nothing would ever change and we danced

Like time was really slipping through our hands

Made it back alive, made up a good lie

But it sure sounded good at the time

We did some wrong, but we did it right

But it sure sounded so good at the time

You were mine, alright, whoa oh, alright

We sing, like we wrote every word to the whole damn thing

Like nothing would ever change and we danced

Like time was really slipping through our hands

So we'd never say goodbye, sure sounded good at the time

It's a melody, on my mind

So we'd never say goodbye

We sing on and on and on (on and on)
