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.
