The Boys Of Summer Lyrics By 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
    though i 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
    now i don’t understand what happened to our love
    but babe i’m gonna get you back
    i’m going to 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
    smiling at everyone
    i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
    after the boys of summer have gone

    break

    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 them go but

    i can see you
    your brown skin shining in the sun
    you got the top pulled down and the
    radio on baby
    i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
    after the boys of summer have gone

    4
    i can see you
    your brown skin shining in the sun
    you got your 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
