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 lakes, empty streets

The sun goes down alone

I’m driving by your house

although you’re not home

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, 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

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

Out on the road today

I saw a dead head 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

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

And 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
