The Boys of Summer – The Ataris (Tekst)

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
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 baby, when I 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
But 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
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
