[Verse 1]
Well, it's shinin' brightly
It's lookin' pretty right
From the early morning
'Til real real late at night
It's lookin' pretty good today
The dark clouds are rollin' away
Oh, and it's shinin' brightly
And I think it's gonna be okay

[Verse 2]
Well, it's startin' to feel good again
You and me
Startin' to feel real good lady
Just the way it used to be
Future's lookin' good at last
Rough times are all in the post
Oh, and it's shinin' brightly
And I think it's gonna last
I think it's gonna last
Oh yeah

[Saxophone Solo: Alto Reed]

[Verse 3]
Well, it's shinin' brightly
I don't think there's too much doubt
This time baby
I think we got it all worked out
Lookin' pretty good today
The dark clouds are rollin' away
And it's shinin' brightly
And I think we're on our way

I think we're on our way
Mmm, I think we're on our way, baby
Mmm hmm
It's a nice change, nice change, nice change
Nice change (Nice change)
Nice change (Nice change)
Nice change
Mmm, let me hear you say

Rough times are all in the past
Oh, and its shinin' brightly (Shinin' brightly)
I think its gonna last (Shinin' brightly)

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
