Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Oh, wonderin'
Felt the lightning, yeah
And I waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
[Verse 5]
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
[Outro]
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
(Night moves) We were workin'
Workin' and practicin' (Night moves)
Workin' and practicin', oh, on the night moves (Night moves)
Night moves (Night moves)
Oh, I remember (Night moves)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember (Night moves)
Ooh, I remember (Night moves)
Lord I remember, Lord I remember (Night moves)
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh huh, uh huh
I remember, I remember
