Song lyrics
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?
I don't understand what happened to our love
But baby when i get you back
Im gonna show you what Im 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

I think this song rocks! When DJ Sammy did his version of it it realy sucked! I foud it boring. But when the ataris did it they kicked ass at it!!! These guys rock and can actually sing live, which is a bonus

This song is amazing. I'd say the ataris has done better but its still really good!
oh by the way to all the people who have "punkchik" or anything like it in their name id just like to point out that people who are really punk, dont run around saying they are. Just keep that in mind.....*cough* you frigin poseurs!

This song was pretty overplayed last year, but now it's been forever since I've heard it and that really made me realize how much I like it! I think it's better than the original.
