[Verse 1:]
All the boys sit on the fender
As they watch the sun go down
And the lights shine like the end of things
On the darker side of town

Well we grew up here in Oregon
Rakin' fields after the rain
And the west was all the world to us
And all the rest just fades away

Yeah the best of friends, the worst of love
Could never turned our hearts to stone
We were stupid, strange and young at heart
And all we wanted was to rock and roll
Yeah all we wanted was to rock and roll
(Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus:]
'Cause the days were made for runnin'
And the nights they were made for us
Yeah the days were made for working hard
Yeah and the nights they were made for love
Yeah the nights they were made for love

[Verse 2:]
Well all the girls sit on the tailgate
As the moon it starts to rise
And every Friday night after the football game
Man we get in our trucks and ride

And all the darkest roads and all the finest girls
Could never turned our hearts to stone
We were stupid, strange and young at heart
And all we wanted was to rock and roll
Yeah all we wanted was to rock and roll

[Chorus:]
Because the days were made for runnin'
And the nights they were made for us
Ah the days were made for working hard
Yeah and the nights they were made for love
Yeah the nights they were made for love

(They were made for love)

[Verse 3:]
Well love is stronger than death, you know
Oh it’s stronger even than the grave
It burns like a blazin' fire by night
And like the sun on a [scaldin'] day

But many watchers can never quench my love
There ain’t no river gonna sweep it away
I cost more than on the silver of course
So you better put your money away

Well the best of times the worst of luck
Will never turned our hearts to stone
Yeah we stupid, strange and young at heart
And all we wanna do is rock and roll
Yeah all we wanna do is rock and roll
Oh all we wanna do is rock and roll

[Chorus:]
'Cause the days were made for runnin'
And the nights they were made for us
Yeah the days were made for working hard
Yeah and the nights they were made for love

Oh the days were made for runnin'
Oh the nights they were made for us
The days were made for working hard
Yeah and the nights they were made for love
Yeah the nights they were made for love
Oh the nights they were made for love
