There was a time, not too far gone
|
When I was changed by just a song
|
On the radio, in my car
|
The pounding electric guitar
|
Then the time came to make our stand
|
We started up a four-piece band
|
And the heat felt like spotlights
|
In the heart of a hot summer night, yeah
|
Hot summer nights
|
Hot summer nights
|
|
Return with me to when times were best
|
We were friends that could pass any test
|
We shared our hopes, our dreams, and our goals
|
And the fundamental roll
|
As we sang in the hot, dark rooms
|
Happy just to play our tunes
|
We felt good when we did it right
|
We felt good on a hot summer night, yeah
|
Hot summer nights
|
Hot summer nights, yeah
|
|
So it lives, and it always will
|
Those songs we sung are in us still
|
Ringing out with all their might
|
In the heart of a hot summer night, yeah
|
Hot summer nights
|
Hot summer nights, yeah
|
