[Verse 1]
He'll seem to come on with a vengeance
You'll think that you've been wasting time
You'll think you've been discussing history
And he'll have left you far behind
Ah, but you must realize he needs you
To keep himself from going blind
Yeah, and when the black night falls upon you
You'll find it easy to be kind
Kind

[Verse 2]
Yeah, the stars may shimmer in the black sky
The wind may rustle in the trees
You might be worried he will psych you
You might be prayin' on your knees
Ah, but when you realize he needs you
And when you finally take some time
Oh, the cool black night will fall upon you
You'll find it easy to unwind
(Unh, yeah, oh, yeah)

[Verse 3]
Hey, the moon may ride the misty mountain
You'll wish you never made the climb
Oh, but when the black night's finally with you
You'll find it easy to be kind
You'll find it easy to unwind
You'll find it easy to be blind
(Oh, yeah, ooh)

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.
