Boys Of Summer

Don Henley

Nobody on the road,


nobody on the beach.


I feel it in the air,


the summers out of reach





Empty lake, empty streets,


the sun goes down alone.


I'm driving by your house


though i know that you not home...





And i can see you


you brown skin shining in the sun


you got your hair combed back


sunglasses on baby





and i can tell you


my love for you will still be strong


after the boy of summer have gone.





out on the road today


i saw a dead head sticker on a cadillac


a 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 for ever


i should just let them go and...





i can see you


your brown skin shining in the sun


you know your walking real slow


smiling at everyone





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 drove me crazy?


remember how i made you scream?





now i don't understand what happed to our love


now baby gonna get you back


gonna show you what i'm made of...





i can see you


your brown skin shining in the sun


you got your top pulled down,


radio on baby





and i can tell you


my love for you will still be strong


after the boys of summer have gone.
