When trouble's on my mind
I like to reminisce
It was a simpler time
On just a night like this
We were so new to love
We'd educate a guess
I taught you all I knew
And you filled in the rest
[Chorus 1]
And I said ooh
Those were heavy nights
We were revin' up those chevy nights with you
And I said ooh, near the levy site
It was me and you and chevy nights
Those heavy nights with you
September nights were cool
But though the streets were hot
Perhaps the memories
Add mystery to the plot
But deep within my soul
I'm glad the times have changed
As long as rock and roll and the chevys stay the same
[Chorus 2]
And I said ooh
Those were heavy nights
We were revin up those chevy nights it's true
And I said ooh, near the levy site
It was me and you and chevy nights
Those heavy nights with you
[Chorus 3]
And I said ooh
Those were heavy nights
We were revin up those chevy nights it's true
And I said ooh, near the levy site
It was me and you and chevy nights
