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 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's 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 shining in the sun.
I see you walking real slow and you're 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 ‘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.
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 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.
