I think I like this one, based on that live video. Has a very pleasant "The Old Dominion vibe" and catchy melody. Perfect song to regain momentum on the radio chart, which they lost with Some People Do (this was a good song, but not as a radio single) and Never Be Sorry.

I love Old Dominion so I am really ready for this one! Seems like the wind got taken out of their sails a little with 2 songs in a row that underperformed but I think this one will bring them back to the top!

I Was On A Boat That Day 1-2-1-2-3… I remember it like it was yesterday, cuz it was. I was letting the sun and the rum just do what it does. I threw my phone in the water, little push off the dock She was packing her bags, I was popping a top. Cuz she’s gone for the summer, gone for the night Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life Was she laughing? Was she crying as she walked away I can’t say, I was on a boat that day. The river was rolling. I was getting my float on. She was telling me so long. I was already so long gone. Yeah-eh She could have been halfway to Houston, but I didn’t care I was drunk as a skunk, eating lunch with a cross-eyed bear You’ve been there She was looking for something better than me I was looking for nothing, just riding the breeze Cuz she’s gone for the summer, gone for the night Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life Was she laughing? Was she crying as she walked away I can’t say, I was on a boat that day. The river was rolling. I was getting my float on. She was telling me so long. I was already so long gone. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la I remember it like it was yesterday, cuz it was. And I still got buzzed! Cuz she’s gone for the summer, gone for the night Gone for the weekend or the rest of my life Was she laughing? Was she crying as she walked away I can’t say, I was on a boat that day. The river was rolling. I was getting my float on. She was telling me so long. I was on a boat that day. The river was rolling. I was getting my float on. She was telling me so long. I was on a boat that day. Hey hey hey (hey hey hey) I was on a boat that day.

I like OD; I've seen them live twice and they were very good, met them too and they were all very nice. I just wish I liked their music better in general. I'll be interested to hear the studio version of this one. Also, thanks for posting the lyrics for us!

I am obviously a fan And you're welcome! There may some transcription errors, but they are pretty darn close!

A lot of artists sound good live and a lot don’t sound good live either. I’d rather wait to hear the studio version first on just about any artists song before I give an honest opinion. Old Dominion hasn’t let me down with any of their singles yet so I have high hopes when I get to hear this tomorrow. Also wasn’t the self titled album even nominated for album of the year at the CMA’s last year? I’ve said all along they might end up being bigger than Rascal Flatts hit wise when all is said and done. Better than Alabama or The Oak Ridge Boys hit wise will be a stretch.

This sounds like a song that will be super fun to hear live!! I think it’ll be polarizing on here but it is fun and catchy.

Woah this sounds pretty out there, like one of those one hit wonders from the 90’s. Hard to say if I like it yet based on one listen (I think I do?). I can see this being polarizing for radio though and I’m not sure this is a good lead single choice.

This reminds me a lot of Bead Paisley’s “I’m Gonna Miss Her.”

Musically, this kinda feels like “Make It Sweet” but on crack. Not bad, but a bit grating. Kudos to them for not playing it safe, but at this point they’ve had several high-quality, radio-friendly songs that they’ve passed up on in favor of a lesser choice (imo of course) and I don’t think that it’s been too great for their career.

Reminds me of The Mavericks with that prominent accordion, and thus also gives me a bit of a 90s vibe but also with an obviously much more current twist. I think I like it more than most of their singles after the first couple listens.

I didn't really care for it hearing on the radio today. Not bad but noting great. I think Midland woyuld have nailed it though. Sounds more like something they'd put out, not OD.

It grew a lot on me after a few listens. I really like the more acoustic instrumentation, this is a major improvement after "Never Be Sorry".

When did Old Dominion get switched from RCA to Arista as part of Sony Music Nashville? That was a surprise to many people within radio too. I didn't even realize until someone pointed it out to me lol. This is the first single as part of the Arista imprint.
