Lyrics: The Boys Of Summer
Album: Actual Miles: Greatest Hits
Artist: Don Henley
 

The boys of summer
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
But 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
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’s happened
To our love,
But babe, i’m gonna get you back
I’m gonna show you what i’m made of
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
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 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
