Story Behind the Song
The song about a couple who love cruising in their old 1964 chevy during "Hot August Nights"in Reno Nevada.
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 California down through San Jose
Phoenix Arizona and from 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 sitten in a 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 celbrating on this Hot August Night
Its a magical night,tonight,its a magical night
With the moon and the stars so bright,eveybodies 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.
