Don Henley – The Boys of Summer lyrics
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 homeBut I can see you
Your brown skin shinin’ 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 goneI never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy (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 ofI can see you
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
I see you walkin’ real slow
And you’re smilin’ at everyone
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have goneOut 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 ’em go, butI can see you
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got the top pulled down
And the radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have goneI can see you
Your brown skin shinin’ in the sun
You got that hair slicked back
And those Wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
