Boys Of Summer lyrics
by 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 driving by your house, though I know you're not home.



I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.

You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.

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 baby I'm gonna get you back. I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.



I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.

I see you walking real slow and you're smiling 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?

Those days are gone forever. I should just let them go but...



I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.

You got the top pulled down and the 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 shining in the sun.

You got you 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.
