the boys of summer

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 drivin' by your house

though i know you're not at 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

when i 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 black flag sticker on a cadillac

a little voice inside my head said

don't look back. you can never look back."
