I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
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
Working on mysteries without any clues
Working on our night moves
Trying to make some front page drive-in news
Working on our night moves
In the summertime, mmm-mmm
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, to the 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
Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
Working on our night moves, mmm-mmmm
And it was summertime, mmm-mmm
Sweet, summertime, summertime

Oh, the wonder
Felt the lightning
Yeah, and 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 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 closing in

Mmm-mmm mmm-mmm. 
Night moves, mmm-mmm
(Night moves) Night moves
(Night moves) Yeah
(Night moves) Moving
(Night moves) Aw, 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, whoa
(Night moves) Oh, working
Working and practicing
(Night moves) Working and practicing
(Night moves) All of the night moves
Night moves
(Night moves) Oh, I remember
(Night moves) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Night moves) Oh, I remember
Lord, I remember. Lord, I remember
(Night moves) How, oh
Oh, yeah I remember, yeah, I remember
Un, un 
I remember, I remember.
