[Verse 1]
One car, 1:30 in the morning driving 'round
Light rain, heartbreak, mascara coming down
Singing along to these old songs
Bringing on new tears
I know it ain't no good for me
But I had to hear

[Chorus]
Boys of Summer rolling in
Desperado on the wind
This hurts better than anything else I've tried
Me and Don Henley
Missing you tonight

[Verse 2]
Headlights bounce off memories like broken glass
Torn up, two lanes, like a highway to the past
The heart of the matter is it don't matter
'Cause you're forever gone
If this is the end of the innocence
Then bring it on

[Chorus]
Boys of Summer rolling in
Desperado on the wind
This hurts better than anything else I've tried
Me and Don Henley
Missing you tonight
[Bridge]
These melodies whisper a prayer
Heal me and take me somewhere

[Chorus]
Boys of Summer rolling in
Desperado on the wind
This hurts better than anything else I've tried
Me and Don Henley
Getting over you tonight

[Outro]
Getting over you tonight
Getting over you tonight
