Making Good Time Lyrics


Old Dominion Making Good Time

[Verse 1]
It seems like yesterday
I could barely hear your name over the band playing
Leaning on my Chevrolet
Your hair in braids, holding my hand, saying
"I don't normally do this
But there's something 'bout you and the vibe and the music"
It was love it or lose it
Yeah, I wanted you so damn bad, it was stupid

[Pre-Chorus]
We were seventeen, we were making moves
Burning gasoline, I was on fire for you
[Chorus]
When you're drinking too much, do you think about us?
Do you re-drive every mile?
Just trying to get out of this slow downtown
'Cause it never really was our style
Never gonna give up
Never gonna let dust settle down on a dashboard night
Maybe we were going all the way
Baby, we were going nowhere either way

[Post-Chorus]
You were by my side
And we were making good time

[Verse 2]
I got the same black ink as you
But this old tattoos got some fading
But I bet that clover field
Still's got the lucky that we laid in it
There was no mistaken
Whatever it was that we thought we were chasing
Not a drop was wasted
Is it just me, or can you still taste it?

[Pre-Chorus]
We were seventeen, we were making moves
Burning gasoline, I was on fire for you
[Chorus]
When you're drinking too much, do you think about us?
Do you re-drive every mile?
Just trying to get out of this slow downtown?
'Cause it never really was our style
Never gonna give up
Never gonna let dust settle down on a dashboard night
Maybe we were going all the way
Baby, we were going nowhere either way

[Post-Chorus]
You were by my side
And we were making good time

[Bridge]
When you're drinking too much, do you think about us?
Do you re-drive every mile?
Just trying to get out of this slow downtown?
'Cause it never really was our style

[Chorus]
Never gonna give up
Never gonna let dust settle down on a dashboard night
Maybe we were going all the way
Baby, we were going nowhere either way
[Outro]
You were by my side
And we were making good time
You were by my side
And we were making good time
