Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer

The Boys of Summer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 gonna show you what I'm made of

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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...

[Chorus]
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
Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

"The Boys of Summer" has also been performed live by Don Henley with the Eagles, and a version is included on the group's 2005 DVD Farewell 1 Tour: Live from Melbourne. Recorded in the key of F♯ major with a tempo of 88 beats per minute, "The Boys of Summer" uses a repeating guitar riff. "The Boys of Summer" is about aging and questioning the past, with a nostalgic theme of summer love and reminiscing about a past relationship. Also, the music video is as great as the song and I can say that it is one of my favorite music videos. The director of the video, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, did a really great job.

Enjoy the music and stay with Love

The Boys of Summer by Don Henley is about longing for what you lost. He sounds a little bit like Bryan Adams.
Congrats @jfang003
Please add me again.

OMG this song is awesome, they used to play 80s songs all the time and I truly think 80s was one of the BEST DECADES for american music. This song brought me back so many good memories, thank you!
