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 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
