[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 all 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 (Mmm)

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

Living 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

[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]

And oh the wonder

Felt the lightning

Yeah, and we waited on the thunder

Waited on the thunder

[Verse 4]

I woke last night to the sound of thunder

How far off I sat and wondered

Started humming 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, 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 working, working, and practicing)

Night moves (Working and practicing)

Night moves (Oh for the night moves, night moves)

Night moves (Oh)

Night moves (I remember, yeah yeah yeah)

Night moves (I remember, ooh)

Night moves (I remember, Lord I remember)

Night moves (Lord I remember, huh huh)

Ooh

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Uh-huh, uh huh

I remember, I remember
