*****
Ain't nobody on the road, ain't nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air, summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house, don't know, you're not home
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 are gone
*** Bridge ***
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
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 are gone
(Mid 8 and repeat intro with guitar break)
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 I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got the top pulled down and the 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 shinin' in the sun,
You got your 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
