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'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.

[timaustin]

I'm a working musician of 50 years. Best cover I have ever heard. Working into set list immediately.

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. 🌎

I've literally listened to this at least 50 times now. It's so good.

[richadambudgen]

I wasn’t going to watch this when it popped up on my feed. I’m glad I did.

[DarrinCollins]

There is Don Henley’s version and there is John Morgan’s version . Period . Two beautiful renditions

[djonesey]

This is not a cover. This is a beautiful alternate version of a beautiful song.

[alldaydavis]

I was lucky enough to have a mom who tossed me a Don Henley cassette tape to listen to while i cut grass. Legendary song.

[redghost]

Man, this guy is great. Clear, strong, country voice.

[lhtsnakes]

This....might be the best cover ever of this song. Actually, it definitely is. Incredible.

[sully]

As a massive Eagles & Don Henley fan, I’ve listened to hundreds of covers of this song over the years.
You’ve definitely put your own stamp on it and it’s very very good.

[ryangrantham]

Another day wishing this was on Spotify!

[ramsessevenone]

I love how he manages to capture that 80s era sound in a totally different style

[DocJay]

The best cover of this song I’ve ever heard

[sidgamerblox]

Que linda versão, sensacional parabéns 😊😊

[ericfleischauer]

You helped prove that one of the greatest rock songs is also one of the best country songs too.

[KongLor]

The best cover of "The Boys of Summer" I've ever heard. This guy is special.

[samuelwallacepics]

So proud of you, dude. This arrangement is 10/10.

[patrickhay]

Amazing vocal delivery! Didn’t think I could love this tune any more than I already did.

[Racingjss]

Never really cared for this song until John Morgan came along. It’s one of my favorites now.
