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
And 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
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun

I see you walking real slow and you're smiling at everyone
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 that top pulled down and that 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 your wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you my, love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
