Sun tan, flip flops,

Ice cold beer in my hand,

Summer sun, having fun,

Getting drunk with the band


Jello shots, whiskey rocks,

Smoke rings in the air,

Singing loud, dancing close,

Because we don't care


We're having fun, setting sun,

Making noise that is the sound of summer,

Take your cup, drink it up,

Party like we won't see another,

Sing along to the sounds of summer


Four by four, no doors,

Tires spinning dirt in the air,

Once you've heard it,

Nothing else can compare


Sip your cup, crank it up,

Young with the weekend to live,

Don't you remember?

This is how it used to sound


We're having fun, setting sun,

Take your cup, drink it up,

Party like we won't see another,

Sing along to the sounds of summer


We're having fun, setting sun,

Making noise that is the sound of summer,

Take your cup, drink it up,

Party like we won't see another,

Sing along to the sounds of summer
