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 n' roll Saturday night

Sitting on hold with a radio station

Listen all night to hear my dedication

A song to tell the whole town you're mine (Well, 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 weren't really slipping through our hands

Oh, when you said, I loved you, it mighta been lying

But it sure sounded good at the time

Just a hand-me-down, a Pontiac

Let's see how many friends we can pile in the back

Saved all summer for a ticket on the front row (Well, 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 hippy 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 weren't really slipping through our hands

We made it back alive, made up a good lie

But it sure sounded good at the time

Aw, yeah

We did some wrong

But we did it right

But it sure sounded so good at the time

You were mine, alright

Whoa

Well, alright

And we sang

Like we wrote every word to the whole damn thing

Like nothing would ever change and we danced

Like time weren't really slipping through our hands

We swore we'd never say goodbye

But it sure sounded good at the time

Just a melody on my mind

Swore we'd never say goodbye

We sang on and on, and on

On and on
