| 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 going 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 coming alive? | 
| Makes you wanna drop it down a gear | 
| And kill a couple of beers | 
| Been waiting all year, now it’s finally here | 
| Back around, these are the sounds of summer | 
| It’s the flick of a lighter lighting up a little smoke | 
| Boots climbing barbwire, a little spot nobody goes | 
| Lawn chairs breaking out in the yard to the firework boom | 
| Hearing a heart beating in the dark, saying that she wants to | 
| These are sounds going 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 coming alive? | 
| Makes you wanna drop it down a gear | 
| And kill a couple of beers | 
| Been waiting 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 going 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 coming alive? | 
| It goes way too fast, it all disappears | 
| And when it’s gone, we’ll still be here | 
| Hanging 'round, missing the sounds of summer | 
| Missing the sounds of summer | 
| Missing the sounds of summer | 
| The sounds of summer | 
| Yeah, the sounds of summer |
