(By Don Henley) The boys of summer 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 Im drivin by your house Though I know youre not home But I can see you Your brown skin shinin in the sun You got your hair combed back and your Sungla**es on, baby And 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 dont understand whats happened To our love But babe, Im gonna get you back Im gonna show you what Im made of I can see you Your brown skin shinin in the sun I see you walkin real slow and youre smilin 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 deadhead sticker On a cadillac A little voice inside my head said, dont 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 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 shining 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
