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”
