I awoke last night to the sound of thunder |
|
How far off I sat and wondered Started humming a song from 1962 Ain't it funny how the night moves When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Strange how the night moves With autumn closing in

My first concert ever was Bob Seger. Great show, October 1983. :-)

2. I've always thought of that as my theme song. |

Always makes me think impure thoughts.
On edit:
was a little too tall Could've used a few pounds Tight pants points hardly reknown She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes And points all her own sitting way up high Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy Workin' on mysteries without any clues Workin' on our night moves Trying' to make some front page drive-in news Workin' on our night moves in the summertime In the sweet summertime
We weren't in love oh no far from it We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit We were just young and restless and bored Living by the sword And we'd steal away every chance we could To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods I used her she used me But neither one cared We were getting our share
Workin' on our night moves Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues Workin' on out night moves In the summertime And oh the wonder Felt the lightning And we waited on the thunder Waited on the thunder
I woke last night to the sound of thunder How far off I sat and wondered Started humming a song from 1962 Ain't it funny how the night moves When you just don't seem to have as much to lose Strange how the night moves With autumn closing in

For some of the best, little-known Seger (and the real reason he is in the Rock HOF), check out this anti-war gem from his 1968 debut album when he called his band, a power trio, "The Bob Seger System".
"2+2=?"
Yes it's true I am a young man But I'm old enough to kill I don't wanna kill nobody But I must if you so will And if I raise my hand in question You just say that I'm a fool Cause I got the gall to ask you Can you maybe change the rules Can you stand and call me upstart Ask what answer can I find, I ain't sayin' I'm a genius 2+2 is on my mind
Well I knew a guy in high school Just an average friendly guy And he had himself a girlfriend And you made them say goodbye Now he's buried in the mud Over foreign jungle land And his girl just sits and cries She just doesn't understand So you say he died for freedom Well if he died to save your lies Go ahead and call me yellow 2+2 is on my mind
All I know is that I'm young and your rules they are old If I've got to kill to live Then there's something left untold I'm no statesman I'm no general I'm no kid I'll never be It's the rules not the soldier that I find the real enemy
I'm no prophet I'm no rebel I'm just asking you why I just want a simple answer Why it is I 've got to die I'm a simple minded guy 2+2 is on my mind

Never heard that one before. What wonderful, moving, touching, sad lyrics. I turned 19 in 1968, so I know what it was like.

7. Where Bob Seger is mentioned... |
|
I will be here. :) It's hard to pick my favorite song of his, but "The Fire Inside" and "Hollywood Nights" are two of my favorites.
