About Out With the Boys

"Out with the Boys" is a song by glam metal band White Lion from their fourth studio album Mane Attraction, which charted at number 61 on The Billboard 200. The song was released as a promo single. The band's vocalist Mike Tramp wrote the song about his memories of his friends in his hometown Copenhagen. Tramp told website Anarchy Music that he wrote the song because he missed these people and was never able to establish a similar relationship with any of his White Lion bandmates. An earlier demo version of the song features lyrics that differ from the 1991 release and seem to detail the story of a man named Vinnie and how his prized street racer was stolen from him.

I've been looking Johnny I've been looking for you
I know that you're out there doing what you shouldn¹t do
I've been calling Johnny I've been calling for you
The streets didn't answer me Rcause they know that you¹re through

I still recall the nigh when you almost took your life
And we all were staying up all night
To be right by your side
Yeah we were out with the boys

We were out to make some noise
Yeah we were out with the boys
We were out to make some noise
I was searching Johnny, I was searching through town

I heard that someone saw you lying around
I was running, Johnny I was running out of time
When I suddenly found you beat up and fallen apart
I thought about the days when we were young Rn' wild

When every girl out on the streets
Turned when we walked by
Yeah we were out with the boys
We were out to make some noise

Yeah we were out with the boys
We were out to make some noise
If I could make a wish I'd take you back in time
And we could be the way we were

When we were out with the boys
We were out to make some noise
When we were out with the boys
We were out to make some noise
