2. Island Song by Zac Brown Band

Island Song is a tune that has a reggae feeling to it, while still remaining country. Keeping with its reggae theme, the song talks about beers, music, Tiki bars, bonfires, and partying like a Jamaican. It’s the sort of song which paints you a story, and lets you envisage and engage in the scenario. For example, this song lets me escape to a tropical beach, where the breeze is flowing through my hair, and the waves are lapping at my feet.

Little Big Town has captured the essence of a perfect summer’s day with this tune. This song is, literally, about floating on a pontoon.

6. Southern Girl by Tim McGraw
On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com
Come on now, I hope you didn’t think I would leave out Tim McGraw. A good summer playlist wouldn’t be complete without a song from this country singer. And while McGraw has a lot of tunes that remind me of summer, I think Southern Girl is a really good one to have for this particular playlist. Not only is it popular on the radio right now, but it also has a universal meaning. McGraw sings that there’s nothing like a Southern girl: with a little hay in her hair, wearing cut-off jeans, and kisses that taste sweeter than Tupelo honey. It’s all about giving appreciation to the down-to-earth Southern girl with this song.
7. Beat This Summer by Brad Paisley
On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com
Last, but certainly not least, is the song Beat This Summer by Brad Paisley. This song is all about how you should enjoy summer as much as you can because, unfortunately, the season always ends eventually. So as the lyrics suggest, always make the most of what you have left of the summer. Take it all in stride and enjoy every minute of it because it’ll be over before you know it. Summer is my favourite season, so I know I’ll be making the most of it. Make sure to add this country song to complete your summer playlist.
These are just a few country songs for the summer that you should add to your playlist. They are perfect tunes for soaking up the sun at the beach, and summer nights with bonfires. In the months to come when it gets colder, you can listen to this playlist and think back to the great summer you had, and make plans for an even better one next year.
