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 shining 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's happened to our love,
But baby when I 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 you're 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 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 shining 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
