With a full moon rising high on a wind-swept summer night
Me and the boys in the band were out crusin' we were feelin' all right
I really had no high hopes, I had no expectations at all
We were walkin' into this crowded bar in a little lakeside town way up north
Local girls all buzzed around but I only wanted to pass them by
Then I caught a look and a smile from this girl with light blue eyes
And I could not look away
Stood there frozen in my tracks, I felt I'd been thunderstruck
Asked a local guy I met if he knew her, he said I was in luck
He brought me over to a table and she shyly shook my hand
I knew right then, oh, I knew right then
I felt a warmth deep down inside, sparks were beginning to fly
Felt my temperature risin' high
She was movin' through me
Just like wildfire
She was shootin' right through me
Shootin' through my heart like wildfire
Wildfire, wildfire
And I could not look away
Each and every night of my life I'm gonna thank my lucky stars
Every night I'm gonna thank my stars I walked into that bar
'Cause every night of my life when I hold her in my arms
Every night, every night, oh every night
I've got wildfire, I've got wildfire
I've got wildfire, wildfire, wildfire
C'mon, every night, every night, oh every night
I've got wildfire

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.
