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 drivin' by your house though
I know you're not home

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your 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?
Now I don't undеrstand what
Happened to our love
But babе, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' 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 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? (What did I know?)
Those days are gone forever, I
Should just let 'em go, but

I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down
And that 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 shinin' in the sun
You got your 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
