[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 though I know you're not at home

[Chorus]

I can see you, your brown skin shinin' 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

[Verse 2]

I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream

Remember how you made me crazy? (Crazy) Remember how I made you scream?

Now I don't understand what happened to our love

But baby, when I 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

But I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Out on the road today, I saw a Black Flag 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

[Chorus]

I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun

You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby

Now 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 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
