Night Moves

Posted on January 25, 2009October 21, 2015 By Doriano No Comments on Night Moves

Bob Seger’s “Night Moves” from 1977 was allegedly inspired by the movie “American Graffiti” and based on Bob Seger’s true experiences. The music video wasn’t made until 1994 when Seger released a Greatest Hits package. It’s a wonderful little movie featuring a young Matt LeBlanc (Joey from Friends) and Daphne Zuniga.

 

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
Workin on mysteries without any clues
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
We were’nt in love, oh no, far from it
We were’nt searchin for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin 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
Workin on our night moves
Tryin to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin on our night moves
And it was summertime
And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I awoke 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
