Sounds Of Summer

(album: Riser - 2014)

It's a tractor firing up
Kids playing in a field
Four wheels getting stuck
A line singing out a fishing reel
It's a cooler sliding in the bed of a truck
A tin roof dripping rain
Your baby saying, 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
