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 weren't in love Oh no, far from it We weren't 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 Sweet Summer, summer, 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

A música foi lançada como single principal do álbum de mesmo nome em 1976, sob o selo Capitol Records.
Seger escreveu a canção em seis meses, inspirada em um amor adolescente que vivenciou no início dos anos 60.
A gravação foi feita de forma rápida no Nimbus Nine Studios, em Toronto, com o produtor Jack Richardson.
Na época, grande parte da Silver Bullet Band havia retornado para casa, então a faixa contou com vários músicos de sessão locais.
Embora não tenha sido mencionado em premiações ou composições de trilhas sonoras de filmes, a canção se tornou um marco nas listas de hits da época.
