Moonlight Drive Lyrics


Moonlight Drive Song Chart
  • Jim Morrison wrote the lyrics while he was living on a rooftop in Venice Beach, California. At night everything was clear, so he would look into peoples windows, study what they were doing, and watch their TV sets. (thanks, Shelby - Lincoln City, OR)
  • Jim Morrison recited this as a poem to Ray Manzarek when they ran into each other on a beach in Southern California in 1965. Manzarek, who knew Morrison from UCLA film school, thought it was great and convinced him to form a band.
  • This was the first song recorded by The Doors. It was left off their first album because they felt it wasn't good enough. Speaking with Gibson.com in a 2011 interview, Manzarek recalled there was chemistry straight away: "I knew instantly we had found 'it,' that indefinable, transcendent something that Kerouac refers to," he said. "I remember showing Robby the chord changes for a simple 'G' progression. He pulled out his bottleneck and said, 'I've got an idea for this, something sort of liquid-like.' A lot of The Doors music came to be like that – water-y. That came from living on the beach. We were actually there, whereas even The Beach Boys, for instance, didn't really live on the beach."
  • The Doors started recording this as more of a Blues song. Ray Manzarek got the idea during recording to do it as "a rock tango."
  • The lyrics are about a tryst on the beach under the moonlight.
  • This was one of 6 songs The Doors recorded for a demo at Aura records in 1965. They didn't get a record deal out of it, but signed with Elektra 2 years later.
  • This was released as the B-side of "Love Me Two Times."
