Here are 10 country songs to add to your 4th of July playlist to keep you celebrating all summer long. Follow along as we dive into incredible country songs.

country-songs-4th-of-july

“American Kids” – Kenny Chesney
The number one pick is, and will always be “American Kids” by Kenny Chesney. This is one of the most perfect modern country songs and will be considered a country standard for years to come. It is a one-of-a-kind recording and the storytelling is fantastic as well.

 

“I Was Jack (You Were Diane)” – Jake Owen
While most of Jake Owen’s music catalog could make this list, the modern take on John Mellencamp’s legendary “Jack & Diane” is just too fun and American to be excluded.

 

“Red, Wine & Blue” – Hailey Whitters
The only sad song on this playlist is perhaps my favorite pick, but that’s coming from someone who can be at my happiest and will queue devastating songs. “Red, Wine & Blue” is poetic and has the most gorgeous, warm classic country elements to it. Released on the 4th in 2019, it would only be right to include this – perhaps when the night is winding down post-fireworks.

 

“Raised On It-” – Sam Hunt
Any song on Sam Hunt’s 2013 debut Montevallo screams summer. Even the sad songs, which is rare. “Raised On It” is just so joyful and quintessential coming-of-age American that it has to be on your playlist.

 

“All My Favorite People” – Maren Morris & Brothers Osborne
If a song sounded like a party, it would be this cut off Maren Morris’ 2019 record GIRL. It perfectly encapsulates enjoying the simple things in life with your closest friends.

 

“Drink In My Hand” – Eric Church
Would it be the 4th of July without Eric Church on aux? There are so many songs in his discography that would be perfect for 4th of July, but “Drink In My Hand” is a standout. Everyone can relate to it, American or not.

 

“Something Like That” – Tim McGraw
’90s country is always a must and to only pick one is incredibly difficult. It’s a great sing-along in the summer and tells such a great country story – authentically American.

 

“Boondocks” – Little Big Town
Sonically, “Boondocks” is a crucial addition to any 4th of July playlist, but even more so, there will be many people celebrating the 4th in the Boondocks. The way the song builds is enough to get anyone excited and ready to party.

 

“On The Road Again” – Willie Nelson
Since 1973, Willie Nelson has hosted a 4th of July picnic/concert in Austin, Texas, so it would only be fitting to celebrate the American – moreover, the universally beloved, icon on this holiday.

 

“Soak Up The Sun” – Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow is a summer staple! However, this song does not get as much as play as it deserves. If you haven’t yet, you should add her to your 4th of July and general summer mixes.

Even in a year such as 2020, 4th of July festivities stay consistent with barbecues, boats, beer, and a lot of good music. Let us begin to find a sense of normalcy in the fireworks, the sparklers, the patriotic popsicles, and the empty calories washed down with a cold, bubbly drink. So, take out the corn hole and enjoy the weekend and when you snap a picture, we’ve got a list of captions for you to choose from.

One cannot come up with the perfect series of words while you’ve got a hotdog in one hand and your phone in the other, and, even then, you can’t focus on anything except the friend who won’t stop yelling you over to play volleyball.

“For every reason why you wanna raise one high, there’s a drink for that” – Drink For That – Baker Grissom

4th of July American Playlist

Country artists are very proud of the town they grew up in and the flag they salute. Often times, they will take that pride and turn it into a song. In honor of Independence Day, we’ve compiled a list of your favorite country songs about the place we call home! Narrowed down of course (the list would be never-ending), here are 13 songs to include on your July 4th playlist!

“American Spirit” – Thomas Rhett
It’s proud of where you from / It’s your last name / It’s thirteen stripes and fifty stars in the wind / So hold up your beer and holler if you hear it / That American spirit

“It’s America” – Rodney Atkins
It’s a high school prom, it’s a Springsteen song, it’s a ride in a Chevrolet / It’s a man on the moon and fireflies in June and kids selling lemonade /Its cities and farms, it’s open arms, one nation under God / It’s America

“Young in America” – Danielle Bradberry
Whoa-oh, oh, oh, the open road / Air to breathe, the sun is shining down / Oh whoa, it’s you and me / In the land of the free / So baby, let’s run while we’re young in America

“My Where I Come From” – Kane Brown
So if I just won’t turn down on a Saturday night / And if I never learned how to back down from a fight / And if I take my hat off for the stars and the stripes / And If I just can’t seem to shut it down / That’s just my “where I come from” comin’ out

“American Country Love Song” – Jake Owen
In the back of an old Ford truck / In the bar, just looking for love / In a pair of oh my blue eyes, let them fireworks start / That American country love song

“All American Girl” – Carrie Underwood
Now he’s wrapped around her finger / She’s the center of his whole world / And his heart belongs to that sweet little / Beautiful, wonderful, perfect All-American girl

“Small Town USA” – Justin Moore
Sweet home Alabama and a six pack of light / Old dirt road and I’ll be just fine / Give me a Sunday morning that full of grace / A simple life and I’ll be okay / Yeah I’ll be okay / Here in small town USA

“America Kids” – Kenny Chesney
Growin’ up in little pink houses / Makin’ out on living room couches / Blowin’ that smoke on a Saturday night / A little messed up, but we’re all alright

“Home” – Dierks Bentley
From the mountains high / To the wave crashed coast / There’s a way to find / Better days I know / It’s been a long hard ride / Got a ways to go / But this is still the place / That we all call home

“American Honey” – Lady Antebellum
There’s a wild, wild whisper blowin’ in the wind / Callin’ out my name like a long lost friend / Oh, I miss those days as the years go by / Oh, nothin’ sweeter than summertime /And American honey

“Chicken Fried” – Zac Brown Band
Salute the ones who died / The ones that give their lives so we don’t have to sacrifice / All the things we love / Like our chicken fried / And cold beer on a Friday night

“American Saturday Night” – Brad Paisley
It’s a French kiss, Italian ice / Margaritas in the moonlight (whoa-oh-oh-oh) / Just another American Saturday night

“Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” – Toby Keith
When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell / And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you / Brought to you courtesy of the red, white, and blue
