The Ataris - The Boys of Summer (Demo) Lyrics

Lyrics The Boys of Summer (Demo) - The 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, 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
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
