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

Sittin' on hold with the radio station

Listen all night to hear my dedication

A song to tell the whole town you were mine, that's right

And we sang

Like we wrote every word to the whole damn thing

Like nothing would ever change

And we danced

Like time wasn't really slippin' through our hands

Oh when you said I love you, you mighta been lying

But it sure sounded good at the time

Just a hand me down Pontiac

We'd see how many friends we could pile in the back

Saved all summer for a ticket on the front row, let's go

Didn't have a plan and we ran outta money

Car broke down but it's still kinda funny

Cause we hitched a ride with some hippie guy

And barely made it to the show

And we sang

Like we wrote every word to the whole damn thing

Like nothing would ever change

And we danced

Like time wasn't really slippin' through our hands

We made it back alive, made up a good lie

But it sure sounded good at the time

We did some wrong, we did it right

But it sure sounded so good at the time

When you were mine, alright

Whoa oh, alright

And we sang

Like we wrote every word to the whole damn thing

Like nothing would ever change

And we danced

Like time wasn't really slippin' through our hands

We swore we'd never say goodbye

And it sure sounded good at the time

Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah

Just a melody on my mind

Swore we'd never say goodbye

We sang on and on and on

On and on
