Sounds of Summer Lyrics

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
The sounds of summer
Yeah, the sounds of summer

Bentley's musical style is considered to be more traditional than many of his contemporaries and often contains traditional themes of lost or forbidden love, drinking and cheating. "Lot of leavin' left to do", one of his biggest singles, is also reminiscent of Waylon Jennings' style of Outlaw country with Western Swing influences.
