"The Boys Of Summer" 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 driving by your house
Though I know you're not home

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? (Crazy)
Remember how I made you scream?
But I don't understand what happened to our love
But baby, when I 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
But 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 Black Flag 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
Now 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
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
