Lyrics of
Night Moves

Bob Segers song Night Moves, written by himself, is a nostalgic reflection on adolescence and the experiences of coming of age. Released in 1976, the track became one of Segers biggest hits, noted for its introspective lyrics and a musical arrangement blending rock with touches of country and blues. The inspiration for the song came from Segers own youthful experiences in Michigan, where he spent summer nights trying to make night moves, a metaph ... or for seeking emotional and physical connections. Night Moves is often seen as a seminal work that captures the essence of American youth at the time. See more [+]

I was a little too tall, coulda' used a few pounds
Tight pants, points, hardly renown
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sittin' way up high way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields, where the woods got heavy
Out in the backseat of my sixty Chevy
Workin on mysteries without any clues

Working on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves in the summertime hmm
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 back room, alley, or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me but neither one cared we were getting our share

Working on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves in the summertime hmm
In the sweet, summertime, summertime


Oh I wonder felt the lightning yeah
And waited on the thunder waited on the thunder
G (hold)
With autumn closing in hmm
Night moves hmmm (night moves) night moves
