Lyrics
I was a little too tall could’ve used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly renown
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting 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
Trying’ to make some front page drive-in news
Practicing our night moves in the summertime, oh
In the sweet summertime
We weren’t in love oh no far from it
We weren’t searching for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Living by the sword
And we’d steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods
I used her she used me but neither one cared
We were getting our share
Practicing on our night moves
Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin’ on out night moves
Oh I wonder
Hey we felt the lightning yeah
And we 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 humming a song from nineteen sixty-two
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 closing in
night moves
(Night moves) oh
(Night moves) I remember
(Night moves) sure do remember those night moves
(Night moves) ain’t it funny how you remember (oh oh)
(Night moves) funny how you remember the night moves
(Night moves) I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember (night moves) whoa, whoa
(Night moves) It’s work
(Night moves) working and practicing
(Night moves) working and practicing oh, on the night moves
(Night moves) night moves
(Night moves) I remember
(Night moves) I sure remember
(Night moves) lord I remember, lord I remember
(Night moves) lord I remember oh yeah yeah
I remember, I remember
