Hot Summer Nights Lyrics - Walter Egan

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
