There was a time not too far gone

When I was changed by just a song

On the radio and in the car

The pounding electric guitars

Then the time came to make our stand

We started up a four-piece band

And the heat felt just like spotlights

In the heart of a hot summer night

Ooh ...... Hot summer night

Ooh ...... Hot summer night.

Return with me to when times were best

We were friends that could pass any test

Shared our hopes, our dreams, 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'd get it right

Felt so good on a hot summer night

Ooh ....... Hot summer night

Ooh ....... Hot summer night.

So it lives and it always will

the songs we sang are in us still

Ringing out with all their might

In the heart of a hot summer night

Ooh ....... Hot summer night

Ooh ....... Hot summer night.
