   Empty lake,

              
 empty streets

              
, the sun goes

               
 down alone.  
 
   I'm driving

 by your house

, though I kno

razy,
 
  Remember how I made you scream.

 
  Now I don't

ing real slow,

[Verse 3]

            
   Out on the 

              
road today
        
  I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillaxc

  A little voi

ce inside my h

ead said:
 
 "Don't look back, you can never look back."

  
  I thought I 

knew what love

 was.
   
  What did I know?

  Those days a

re gone foreve

r.
   
  I should just let them go, but


[Chorus]
             
But I can see 

      
you, your brow

n skin shining

 in the sun
              
  You got that


 top pulled do

wn, and that r

adio on, baby
             
  And I can te

          
ll you my love

 for you will 

still be stron

g,
              
  After the bo

      
ys of summer h

ave gone

             
  But I can se

      
e you, your br

own skin shini

ng in the sun.
              
  You got your

              
 hair slicked 

            
back and those

 Wayfarers on,

 baby.
             
  I can tell y

      
ou my love for

 you will stil

  After the bo
