簡介
The boys of summer為老鷹樂隊前成員Don Henley在樂隊單飛後的第二張個人專輯（《Building The Perfect Beast》）中的單曲。此曲為Don贏得了1985年度葛萊美獎最佳搖滾男歌手獎。這首歌講的是一個人想和過去的某人重新聯繫，卻發現再也回不到昨天的故事。歌詞：
Nobody on the roadnobody 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 baby when I 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
