Boys Of The Summer Lyrics - 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 

Don't know you're not home 

But 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 

And 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 'em go, but 

I can see you, 

Your brown skin shining 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 shining 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
