Good Time Songtext
von Grace Potter

I used to drive to Montreal
Look up at the departure wall
Buy me a ticket to anywhere I never been
Look at my planet from above
Meet the pilot, maybe make love
Touch down and let that city sweep me off my feet

Take me back to the good times
When I drank up life like I drink my wine
Why′s there always gotta be a window in between me
And everything, and everyone I wanna see?

'Cause we can′t go out, but we still wanna dance
We can't go out, but we still want a chance for love
Oh-oh-oh-oh
No we can't go out, but I still wanna sing
Can′t go out, but I still wanna bring back love
Oh-oh-oh-oh

There′s got to be a way that we can turn this ship around
Uh, 'cause you can′t keep a good time down


Can't keep
Can′t keep a good time
Can't keep
Can′t keep a good time
Can't keep
Can't keep a good time down

I know what living′s all about
I breast-fed a stranger once at an In & Out
I stripped down to my skivvies
And danced across the boulevard, yeah
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Take me back to the good times
When I drank up life like I drink my wine
Why′s there gotta be a window in between me
And everything and everyone I wanna see?

No, we can't go out, but I still want to dance
I can′t go out, but I still want a chance for love
Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah
No, we can't go out, but I still wanna sing
I can′t go out, but I still wanna bring back love
Oh-oh-oh-oh, love

There's got to be a way that we can turn this ship around
Ow, ′cause you can't keep a good time down


Can't keep
Can′t keep a good time
Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time
Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time down

Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time
Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time
Can't keep
Can′t keep a good time down

In my dancehall dreams
I′m a benevolent queen
Riding on a white horse across a dance floor
I've got flowers in my hair
And there′s sugar in the air
I wanna live my whole life like it's the last night at Studio54
(Oh-oh-oh)

Baby, take me back to the good times
When I drank up life like I drink my wine
Why′s there gotta be a window in between me
And everything and everyone I wanna see?

'Cause we can′t go out, but I still wanna dance
Can't go out, but I still need a chance for love
Oh-oh-oh-oh
No, we can't go out, but I still wanna sing
I can′t go out, but I still wanna bring back love
Oh-oh-oh-oh

There′s got to be a way that we can turn this ship around
C'mon, ′cause you can't keep, you can′t keep
Can't keep, can′t keep
Can't keep a good, good
You can't keep a good time down

Can′t keep
Can′t keep a good time
Can't keep
Can′t keep a good time
Can't keep
Can′t keep a good time down

You can try, but you can't keep it down, no
You can try, but it′s gonna come around, y'all
Oh, oh-oh-oh

Can't keep
Can′t keep a good time
Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time
Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time down

Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time
Can′t keep
Can't keep a good time (ah, hey)
Can't keep (man, there′s cops outside)
Can′t keep a good time down
Somebody get the door, shit
Can't keep
Way to ruin a party

Hello, uh, good evening, ma′am
Sorry to disturb your party, but
We have a report of a missing child, likely a runaway in this vicinity
Have you seen this little girl?
