The Perfect Country Playlist To Countdown To Summer

Sometimes it feels like winter will last forever, but the days are getting longer and summer is finally around the corner. There’s no better season to grab some friends, hit the road, and make memories, and country music’s got you covered with a soundtrack to your summer.

Here is the perfect playlist to get you in the mood for sunshine and good times.

“Summer Nights” – Rascal Flatts

“Summer nights / Everybody, are you with me? / Let that igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise / Summer nights / Everybody’s feeling sexy / Holler if you’re ready for some summer nights”

“Vacation” – Thomas Rhett

“Put a little liquor in my coconut water / Party all day like you at your alma mater / Put a little liquor in my coconut water / Ice has started melting cause it’s always getting hotter / Singing hey, let’s party like we on vacation”

“Southbound” – Carrie Underwood

“Yeah, we got the roof swing, swingin’ like a chandelier / Little bit of heaven on the water ride here / Don’t need much, just a couple of beers and you and me / Gotta love this time of year / So let’s get a little southbound, unwound, Tennessee Honey kinda buzz / Then south sounds up loud, summer drippin’ over us”

“Long Hot Summer” – Keith Urban

“It’s gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together / With your feet up on the dashboard now / Singing along with the radio, it’s such a beautiful sound / But when you say my name in the middle of the day / I swear I see the stars come out / When you hold my hand in the back of my mind / Just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down”

“Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset” – Luke Bryan

“Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat / Moonlight, all night, crashing into me / Nothing will ever be easy as you and me / Tangled up with nowhere to be / Just sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat”

“Cruise” – Florida Georgia Line

“Baby you a song / You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise / Down a back road blowin’ stop signs through the middle / Every little farm town with you / In this brand new Chevy with a lift kit / It’d look a hell lot better with you up in it.”

“Summertime” – Kenny Chesney

“And it’s two bare feet on the dashboard / Young love in an old Ford / Cheap shades and a tattoo / And a Yoo-hoo bottle on the floorboard / Perfect song on the radio / Sing along ’cause it’s one we know / It’s a smile, it’s a kiss / It’s a sip of wine, it’s summertime / Sweet summertime.”

“Toes” – Zac Brown Band

“I got my toes in the water, toes in the sand / Not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand /
Life is good today. Life is good today”

“Barefoot Blue Jean Night” – Jake Owen

“It’s gonna be a long, hot summer, we should be together / With your feet up on the dashboard now / Singing along with the radio, it’s such a beautiful sound / But when you say my name in the middle of the day / I swear I see the stars come out / When you hold my hand in the back of my mind / Just waiting on the sun to go down, the sun to go down”

“Pontoon” – Little Big Town

“On the pontoon / Makin’ waves and catchin’ rays up on the roof / Jumpin’ out the back, don’t act like you don’t want to / Party in slow motion / Out here in the open / Mm, motorboatin’”

“19 You + Me” – Dan + Shay

“Watchin’ that blonde hair swing / To every song I’d sing / You were California beautiful / I was playin’ everything but cool / I can still hear that sound / Of every wave crashin’ down / Like the tears we cried / That day we had to leave / It was everything we wanted it to be / The summer of
19 you and me”
