    Lyrics - 'The Boys of Summer' 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 streets
    The sun goes down alone
    I'm driving by your house
    Though I know you're not home
    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
    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 going to 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 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 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

    I really hate it that you do this song with such emotion. 50 years ago on a sandy beach in Florida I met the girl I wanted to spend forever with. We were both young and reality forced me to enlist in the Army. I did it all. Infantry, Airborne Paratrooper, Special Forces. Combat action. We drifted apart and she left me for another guy. When I came home she was gone. I keep moving but I'm empty inside. This song is the dagger in my heart and you killed it. Great cover to move me like you did. I'm so glad we don't live forever. Sunrise on the beach is ...... What can I say ? Quiet except for the whispering wind. 🌎

      does you sniffing farts, result in you being a terf climate change warrior, or is it that you told john carrey to stop jet setting, he didn't listen, you jested, and then you were culled by saint gretta, who said how dare you to the rest of us? seems like you wanted a beef to have, one that couldn't be eaten, air that was in play, yet couldn't be quelled. dying man, from any way you could grift upon, and now we are back to the point of recognition. none of us have died or will.

      KT Tunstall‘s version is my personal favourite. Longing, sweet, tender and introspective and really treading the edge of reminiscence, sadness, letting go and faint hope.

    I'm not a country fan and stumbled across this by accident. I have heard many covers of this song, and this one is really, really good. Probably the best I've heard. It really captures a sadness and melancholy in the lyrics, the end of summer. The tempo and humble production values of this version is just perfect.
