The Boys of Summer

Cover of Don Henley's The Boys of Summer.

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] I 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? I don't understand what happened to our love But baby, when I get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Out on the road today I saw a BLACK FLAG 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 [Chorus] 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
