The Ataris
The Boys of Summer
[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 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?
But 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 'em 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
