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

Don't 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.

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.

I see you walking real slow 

And you're smiling 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 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 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.

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,

After the boys of summer have gone.
