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

But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and sunglasses on, baby
And 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
No, I don't understand what happened to our love
But 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 walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
And 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 radio on, baby
And 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 that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
