Walter Egan - Hot Summer Nights lyrics

There was a time, not too far gone When I was changed by just a song On the radio, in the car The pounding electric guitars Then the time came to make a 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 who could pa** 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 It felt good when we did it right It felt good on a hot summer night, yeah Hot summer nights Hot summer nights, yeah And so it lives, and it always will The songs we've 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
