The Boys of Summer
Don Henley
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not home
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back
and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and
you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you
will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today,
I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said,
"Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know T
hose days are gone forever
I should just let 'em go
but I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down
and that radio on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back
and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
