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 
 
But 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 
 
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 
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone 
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
After the boys of summer have gone 
 
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- 
 
I can see you- 
Your brown skin shinin' 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 
 
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
