Intro:
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 driving by your house
though I know you're not at home
Chorus 1:
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
Guitar Solo:
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 2:
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
B B--B--
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
(hold)
I should just let them go but
Chorus 3:
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
Chorus 4:
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
