"Good Time" lyrics - GRACE POTTER

GRACE POTTER
"Good Time"

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus:]
'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, ah
'Cause you can't keep a good time down

[Post-Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus:]
No, we can't go out but I still wanna 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
'Cause you can't keep a good time down

[Post-Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
In my dance-hall 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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus:]
'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, come on
'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

[Post-Chorus:]
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
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
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

[Outro:]
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?
