Cette chanson est une des rares co-écrites par les 3 membres du groupes. Ils l'écrivèrent pendant qu'ils étaient en tournée à bord d'un véhicule loué près de St-Louis. La chanson décrit les ressentis du groupe lors des tournées. Making Memories est le seul morceau joué à la slide guitare par Alex Lifeson. Il n'a jamais été joué en concert.

There's a time for feelin' as good as we can
The time is now, and there's no stoppin' us
There's a time for livin' as high as we can
Behind us you will only see our dust.
You know we're havin' good days
And we hope they're gonna last
Our future still looks brighter than our past
We feel no need to worry
No reason to be sad
Our mem'ries remind us, maybe road life's not so bad.
Just keep smilin', move onward ev'ry day
And try to keep our thoughts away from home
We're trav'lin' around, no time to settle down
And satisfy our wanderlust to roam.
Well from sea to shining sea, and a hundred points between
Still we go on diggin' ev'ry show
The cities in the land all extend a welcome hand
Till morning when it's time for us to go.
