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



But 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 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 shinin' in the sun

I see you walkin' real slow

And you're smilin' 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 shinin' in the sun

You got the top pulled down

And the 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 that 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
