"Moonlighting" is a song by Leo Sayer released in August 1975 as the first single from his third album Another Year.

It became his fourth top-ten hit, peaking at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart and was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry.

[4] It was inspired by a roadie with Sayer who fell in love with the daughter of a chief constable in the late 1960s.

The chief was not pleased about this and would not agree for them to get married, so the couple decided to run off and elope to Gretna Green in Scotland, where this would be possible.

For the song, Sayer wanted the story to end happily, represented with the lyrics "we're only ten miles to Gretna, they're three hundred behind".
