Em
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.
C
I'm driving by your house, though I know you're not home.
[Chorus]
G D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
C
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.
G D
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
C
After the boys of summer have gone.

I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream.
C
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 shining in the sun.

I see you walkin' real slow and smiling to everyone.

Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead 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?
C
Those days are gone forever, I should just let 'em go, but

You got the top pulled down and radio on, baby.
