The Boys of Summer

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

I can see you

Your brown skin shining in the sun

You got your hair combed back

Sunglasses on, baby

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

Summer have gone

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

No, I don't understand what happened to our love

Babe, I'm gonna get you back

I'm gonna 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

Summer have gone

Summer have gone

Out on the road today

Saw a Dead Head 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
