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 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, baby, i'm gonna get you back,
i'm gonna show you what i'm made of.
But 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 them go, but...
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.
