Night Moves
Bob Seger Lyrics

I was a little too tall could've used a few pounds
I wasn't perfect, physically. I was taller than average and could have gained more weight.

Tight pants points hardly renown
My pants were so tight that I was causing a scene.

She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
The girl I was with was gorgeous, with black hair and big, captivating eyes.

And points all her own sitting way up high
She had qualities that were unique to her and stood out from others, and she was sitting up high, maybe in a tree or on a hill.

Way up firm and high
She was sitting really high up and in a secure, stable position.

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
We ventured out into the countryside where the trees were dense and the cornfields went on for miles.

Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
We were sitting in the back seat of my 1960 Chevrolet car.

Workin' on mysteries without any clues
We were experiencing things that felt mysterious and confusing, with no clear solutions or answers.

Workin' on our night moves
We were trying to figure out exactly what we wanted from each other and our night together.

Trying' to make some front page drive-in news
We wanted to create a memorable experience, something that would make the news and be talked about in the community.

Practicing our night moves in the summertime, oh
We were working on perfecting our skills relating to how we made decisions and what actions we took during the summer months.

In the sweet summertime
We were enjoying the carefree and warm season of summer.

We weren't in love oh no far from it
We weren't in love and nowhere near that level of commitment.

We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit
We weren't looking for something that was unlikely or unrealistically high up.

We were just young and restless and bored
We were young, unfulfilled, and lacked direction.

Living by the sword
We were taking risks and living a fast-paced lifestyle.

And we'd steal away every chance we could
We would sneak away and take any opportunity we had to be together.

To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods
We went to various different locations, including a backroom, an alley, and the woods, which was a reliable and familiar spot for us.

I used her she used me but neither one cared
We were using each other for our own purposes, but both of us were indifferent to it.

We were getting our share
We were both benefitting from the arrangement and getting what we wanted from the situation.

Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
We were aiming to get rid of the negative and frustrating feelings of being a teenager and not feeling confident in ourselves.

Oh I wonder
I am curious and uncertain about what comes next.

Hey we felt the lightning yeah
We felt a spark and connection between us.

And we waited on the thunder
We waited anxiously for the next big thrill or excitement to come our way.

I woke last night to the sound of thunder
I heard a thunderstorm in the middle of the night.

How far off I sat and wondered
I was thinking and wondering about how far the storm was taking place from where I was.

Started humming a song from nineteen sixty-two
I began singing a tune from the early 1960s.

Ain't it funny how the night moves
It's strange and interesting how the night can bring about unexpected changes and experiences.

When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
When you don't feel like you have much to give up or risk.

Strange how the night moves
It's interesting how our experiences at night can be surprising and unforeseeable.

With autumn closing in
The season of autumn is coming closer and changes are happening.

(Night moves) night moves
The experiences we have at night can be unexpected and life-altering.

(Night moves) oh
The experiences we have at night can be powerful and memorable.

(Night moves) I remember
I have vivid memories of our experiences at night.

(Night moves) sure do remember those night moves
I have clear and strong memories of what we did and experienced at night.

(Night moves) ain't it funny how you remember (oh oh)
It's interesting how certain memories can stick with you and stay strong over time.

(Night moves) funny how you remember the night moves
It's interesting how our memories of our nighttime experiences can be so vivid and intense.

(Night moves) I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember (night moves) whoa, whoa
I have very specific memories of our nighttime experiences, and they still affect me deeply.

(Night moves) It's work
Creating memorable and powerful experiences at night takes effort and work.

(Night moves) working and practicing
We were putting effort towards improving our nighttime experiences and actions.

(Night moves) working and practicing oh, on the night moves
We were putting effort towards improving our nighttime experiences and actions.

(Night moves) night moves
The experiences we have at night can be transformative and memorable.

(Night moves) I remember
Our experiences at night are so vivid and powerful that they have stayed with me over time.

(Night moves) lord I remember, lord I remember
I remember our nighttime experiences very clearly and they had a deep impact on me.

(Night moves) lord I remember oh yeah yeah
I remember our nighttime experiences really well and they will always be a part of me.

I remember, I remember
I have very vivid memories of the things we did and the experiences we had.
