The Boys of Summer
(originally 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 street
The sun goes down alone
I drive by your house
I know you're not home
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 I made you crazy?
Remember how you made me scream?
And, no, I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe I'm gonna get you back
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 smiling at everyone
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 "dead-end" sticker on a Cadillac
And a little voice inside my head said
"Don't look back, you can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What do 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
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair slicked back and those Waferers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
