    Lyrics »

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 drivln' by your house
Though I know you're not home

But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' 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 babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' 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 shinin' 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 shinin' 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
