Bob Seger Quotes

So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolderThan you used to be.So you used to shake 'em down,But now you stop and think about your dignity.So now sweet sixteen's turned thirty-one,You get to feelin' weary when the work days done.Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks.If you're in a fix.Come back baby,Rock and roll never forgets.

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.

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.
