It's a tractor firin' up
Kids playin' in a field
Four wheels gettin' stuck

A line singin' 'bout a fishin' real
It's a cooler sliding in the bed of a truck
Tin roof dripping rain

You're baby saying 'Come pick me up'
Take me down to the river bank
These are the 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 beers
Been waitin' all year and
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' barbed wire,
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 the 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 beers
Been waitin' all year and
it's finally here back around

These are the sounds of summer.

Yeah, yeah
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
When it's gone we'll still be here,
hangin' around
Missin' the sounds of summer

Missin' the sounds of summer

The sounds of summer

Yeah the sounds of summer
