Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
No, no, you're not home
[Chorus]
But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' 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
[Verse 2]
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
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
[Chorus]
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're
Smilin' at everyone
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
[Verse 3]
Out on the road today
I saw a dead head 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
[Chorus]
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and
Radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
[Chorus]
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair straight 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
