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 

But 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 
Now 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 Dead-head 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 shinin' in the sun 
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby 
And 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...
