Lyrics:

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


And the heat felt like spotlights
We started up a four-piece band



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
Happy just to play our tunes

As we sang in the hot, dark rooms


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

Ringing out with all their might
Those songs we sung are in us still


In the heart of a hot summer night, yeah

Hot summer nights

Hot summer nights, yeah
