sounds of summer

it's a tractor firin' up

kids playin' in a field

four wheels gettin' stuck

a line singin' out a fishin' reel

it's a cooler slidin' in the bed of a truck

a tin roof drippin' rain

your baby sayin'

come pick me up

take me down to the riverbank

these are sounds goin' down in a nowhere town

underneath the wide open sky

it's the dust in the air and the freedom everywhere

can't you hear it comin' alive?

makes you wanna drop it down a gear

and kill a couple of beers

been waitin' all year

now it's finally here

back around

these are the sounds of summer

it's the flick of a lighter lightin' up a little smoke

boots climbin' barbwire

a little spot nobody goes

lawn chairs breakin' out in the yard to the firework boom

hearin' a heart beatin' in the dark

sayin' that she wants to

these are sounds goin' down in a nowhere town

underneath the wide open sky

it's the dust in the air and the freedom everywhere

can't you hear it comin' alive?

makes you wanna drop it down a gear

and kill a couple of beers

been waitin' all year

now it's finally here

back around

these are the sounds of summer

yeah the sounds of summer

'round here that's what it's all about

so listen up and look around

it's who we are

it's what we love

so tonight let's crank 'em up

these sounds goin' down in a nowhere town

underneath the wide open sky

it's the dust in the air and the freedom everywhere

can't you hear it comin' alive?

it goes way too fast

it all disappears

and when it's gone

we'll still be here

hangin' 'round

missin' the sounds of summer

missin' the sounds of summer

the sounds of summer

yeah

the sounds of summer
