 Night Moves

I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds

Tight pants points, hardly renowned

She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes

And points of her own, sittin' way up high

Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy

Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy

Workin' on mysteries without any clues

Workin' on our night moves

Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news

Workin' on our night moves

In the summertime

Umm, in the sweet summertime

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it

We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit

We were just young and restless and bored

Livin' by the sword

And we'd steal away every chance we could

To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods

I used her, she used me but neither one cared

We were gettin' our share

Workin' on our night moves

Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues

Workin' on our night moves

Mmm, and it was summertime

Mmm, sweet, summertime, summertime

Oh, wonderin'

Felt the lightning, yeah

And I waited on the thunder

Waited on the thunder

I woke last night to the sound of thunder

How far off I sat and wondered?

Started hummin' a song from 1962

Ain't it funny how the night moves?

When you just don't seem to have as much to lose

Strange how the night moves

With autumn closin' in

Mmm, night moves, mmm

(Night moves) night moves

(Night moves) yeah

(Night moves) I remember

(Night moves) ah, I sure remember the night moves

(Night moves) ain't it funny how you remember?

(Night moves) funny how you remember

(Night moves) I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember

(Night moves) oh, oh, oh

we were workin', workin' and practicin'

(Night moves) workin' and practicin'

(Night moves) oh, on the night moves, night moves

(Night moves) oh

(Night moves) I remember, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember

(Night moves) ooh

(Night moves) I remember, Lord I remember, Lord I remember

(Night moves) ha, ha, ooh-hoo

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh huh, uh huh

I remember, I remember
