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 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 walking 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
|
