The Boys Of Summer Lyrics

[00:33.60] Nobody on the road
[00:36.32] Nobody on the beach
[00:38.80] I feel it in the air
[00:41.87] The summer's out of reach
[00:44.00] Empty lake, empty streets
[00:46.32] The sun goes down alone
[00:49.96] I'm drivin' by your house
[00:52.00] Though I know you're not home
[00:55.05] But I can see you
[00:57.65] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[01:00.90] You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
[01:05.73] I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
[01:11.00] After the boys of summer have gone
[01:16.29]
[01:38.42] I never will forget those nights
[01:41.15] I wonder if it was a dream
[01:43.63] Remember how you made me crazy?
[01:46.51] Remember how I made you scream
[01:48.95] Now I don't understand what happened to our love
[01:54.60] But babe, I'm gonna get you back
[01:57.31] I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
[02:00.22] I can see you
[02:02.50] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[02:05.75] I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
[02:11.14] I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
[02:15.75] After the boys of summer have gone
[02:20.79]
[03:05.10] Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
[03:09.73] A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
[03:15.64] I thought I knew what love was
[03:18.20] What did I know?
[03:20.76] Those days are gone forever
[03:23.60] I should just let them go but
[03:26.37] I can see you
[03:28.93] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[03:32.43] You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
[03:37.23] I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
[03:42.19] After the boys of summer have gone
[03:47.99] I can see you
[03:50.67] Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
[03:53.59] You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
[03:58.96] I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
[04:04.00] After the boys of summer have gone
[04:09.52]
