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 your sunglasses on, baby 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? Now 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 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 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 'em 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
