Night Moves Songtext
von Dolly Parton

Mm-mm-mm
Yeah
Mm-mm-mm

I was a little too small could′ve used a few pounds
Tight skirts, points, hardly renowned
He was a handsome devil, with mischief in his eyes
Together we filled a void in our lives
Ooh, it might've been wrong, but it felt so right (ooh)
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the backseat of that ol′ '60 Chevy (yeah)
Workin' on mysteries without any clues, mm

Just workin′ on our night moves
Tryin′ to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves

In the summertime (makin′ memories)
In the sweet summertime, summertime, mm-mm


We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren′t searching for some pie in the sky or summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Living by the sword

We'd steal away every chance we could
To backrooms, alleys, or the trusty woods
I used him and he used me
Neither one cared we were gettin′ our share

Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose those awkward teenage blues
Workin′ on our night moves, mm
Ooh, summertime (don′t you remember?)
Sweet summertime, summertime, summertime

Oh, I wonder (I wonder), mm (yeah)
Felt the lightnin', (felt the lightnin′)
Waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder, yeah, mm


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

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Sweet memories (night moves)
Oh, (oh-oh) oh, night moves (working on the night moves)
Working and practicing (oh yeah, I remember)
I remember you
I'll never forget you (yeah) (night moves)
I remember, I remember, I remember, I remember you too (night moves)

Finding heaven 'neath a sky of stars (oh, those night moves)
Remember rockin′ that ol′ Chevy car (mm, those night moves)
Ooh (thinking bout your night moves)
Skinny dippin' in a cement pond (yes, I remember) (night moves)
Jitter Buggin′ on the church house lawn (ooh, I remember) (night moves)
Mm-mm (yeah) (working on the night moves)

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, I remember you too
Oh, I remember, I remember, I remember you
(Yeah) yeah
