Lyrics - The Boys of Summer by Ataris

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
