<ul><li>In the 1976 Bob Seger hit "<a href="https://www.songfacts.com/facts/bob-seger/night-moves" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Night Moves</a>," he sings about a young love:</li><li><br></li><li><em>We'd steal away every chance we could </em></li><li><em>To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods</em></li><li><br></li><li>Dupree's song is more of a proposition, as he is asking a girl to steal away into the night with him after he catches her sneaking a glance. No word on if she took him up on the offer.</li><li>The lyric doesn't have any special meaning to Dupree, who says it's not about anyone in particular. "It was a very simple rhyme song that was not anything meant to be heavy," he said in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Yacht-Rock-Book-History-Smooth/dp/1911036297" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Yacht Rock Book: The Oral History of the Soft, Smooth Sounds of the '70s and '80s</em></a>. "It was a song where the words and the melody fit together, and they were cool. I thought it was nice."</li></ul><p><a href="https://www.songfacts.com/facts/robbie-dupree/steal-away" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.songfacts.com/facts/robbie-dupree/steal-away</a></p><p><br></p><p>One of my favorite songs by Robbie Dupree...I just wanted to sing this one because I heard it on the radio...Thank you for listening:)</p>
