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 home

but I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun, you got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
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, 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, smiling 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 DEAD HEAD sticker on a caddilac
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 the top pulled down radio on
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 slicked back and those wave fellas on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong, after the boys of summer have gone
