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 of an electric guitar

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

Ooh, hot summer night
Ooh, hot summer night

Return to me to when times were best
We were friends that could pass any test
Shared our hopes, our dreams, our goals
And the fundamental rules

As we sang in the hot, dark rooms
Happy just to play our tunes
Felt good when we got it right
Felt good on a hot summer night, yeah

Ooh, hot summer night
Ooh, hot summer night

Oh, it's burnin'
You're hot

So we live and we always will
The songs we sung are in us still
Ringing out with all of their might
In the heat of a hot summer night

Ooh, hot summer night
Ooh, hot summer night

Ooh, hot summer night, yeah
Ooh, it's a hot summer night

Ooh, oh, a hot summer night
Ooh, a hot summer night, yeah

Ooh, a hot, a hot summer night
Ooh, hot summer night, yeah
