Story Behind the Song
I had started writting this song about a guy cruising around and see's a pretty girl walking down the sidewalk,when I got the idea to write it about the Hot August Nights event,and since the event was'nt to far off,that motivated me even more to write about it.The words and the melody came to me so quikly and easily,I think it took me only an hour to write this song
Lyrics
I'm going out on the town in my 64
a chevy that I bought about a year ago
cruising down Virginia with my baby tonight
were listening to the music and its feeling right
with the moon and the stars so bright
everybodies cruising round tonight
everybodies celebrating on this Hot August Night
People come all over from across the bay
from Oakland Califonia down through San Jose
Pheonix Arizona and New Mexico
their even coming down out of Idaho
cruising in a chevy 55
or a Plymouth thats been customized
everybodies come to Reno for these Hot August Nights
Everybodies cruising round tonight
in the middle of a moonlit night
with the music of the Platters on the stereo.
On the corner you might even see
Elvis sittin in 63
so don't be surprised
what you see with your eyes
cause tonight is a magical night,
its a magical night,tonight,its a magical night,
with the moon and the stars so bright
everybodies cruising round tonight
everybodies celebrating on this Hot August Night
Its a magical night,tonight,its a magical night
with the moon and the stars so bright
everybodies cruising round tonight
everybodies celebrating on this Hot August Night
its a magical night,tonight,
its a magical night,tonight,
with the moon and the stars so bright
everybodies cruising round tonight everybodies celebrating on this Hot August Night
its a magical night,tonight,
its a magical night,tonight'
its a magical night,tonight,
its a magical night,tonight,
its a magical night,tonight.
