True life: I only thoroughly enjoy listening to country music in the summertime. To me, country music is like a nice pair of high-waisted shorts; no matter how cute they are, you shouldn’t be wearing them in the winter (only exception: country singers who put out holiday albums, those are acceptable.) There is just something about country music that can completely enhance your summertime. Plus, I don’t want to hear a song about having your toes in the water and ass in the sand in the middle of a bitter Midwest winter. That, and the following reasons, is why I only play country music when it is 80+ degrees outside.
- The sound of somebody tickling the strings of a banjo will make you want to find the closest county fair.
- The key words of every country song are all summer related: beer, fishing, lake, tractors, sunshine, blonde girls in short shorts, etc.
- It is the perfect soundtrackk for when you are stomping around in your cowboy boots.
- There is no better soundtrack for when you are cruising around with your friends.
- It makes wearing a cowboy hat totally excusable, so you’ll protect your skin and be able to rock out to some country music.
- Country ballads about summer love are some of the best songs ever written.
- Get yourself a Corona and Lime, turn on the Luke Bryan and bask in the sunshine.
- Studies have shown that country music fans are hardworking and outgoing, so if you want to kill it in your summer job and be the life of the party on summer nights, just turn on that country music.
- Because you can daydream about dating Hunter Hayes while you’re tanning and listening to his music.
- You can make every Shania Twain song your power anthem while getting ready for a night out under the moon and stars.
- Country music is perfect for any summertime road trip. Header Image Source
