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 though I know you're not home.

But I can see you

your brown skin shining in the sun



You got your hair comb'd back and 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

And 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 ev'ryone.

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.

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 your hair slick'd back and your wavarers on

baby.

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

After the boys of summer have gone.
