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
Sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Oh no, you're not home
And, well, I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And those sunglasses on, baby
But well, I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
Well, I don't understand
What happened to our love
But baby, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
But well, I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow
And smiling at everyone
But well, I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the way 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
But didn't know
Those days are gone forever
I should just let all go
But well, I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that top pulled down
And radio on, baby
Well, I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
But well, I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair slicked back
And those wayfarers on, baby
Well, I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
