The Ataris Lyrics
"Boys Of Summer"

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 hooome

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 be strong
After the boys of summer have gooone

(Instrumental)

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
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

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

(Instrumetal)

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 be strong
After the boys of summer have gooone
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will be strong
After the boys of summer have gooone
