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 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 COMB'D BACK AND 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
AND 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
I CAN SEE YOU
YOUR BROWN SKIN SHINING IN THE SUN

I SEE YOU WALKING REAL SLOW AND YOU'RE SMILING AT EV'RYONE.
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 SHINING IN THE SUN

YOU GOT THAT TOP PULLED DOWN AND THAT RADIO ON
BABY.
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 YOUR HAIR SLICK'D BACK AND YOUR WAYFARERS ON
BABY.
AND I CAN TELL YOU MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL STILL BE STRONG
AFTER THE BOYS OF SUMMER HAVE GONE.
