Another semester almost over, the sun is shining, you're driving with the windows down, it can only mean one thing: summer is coming. Sure, there's the beach with its white sand and blue water, and there are late night bonfires, which are cool too, and we can't forget about you privileged folk riding around town with your tops down (car tops, of course, it's not THAT hot out) and the wind in your hair.

All of these things just wouldn't be the same without one key ingredient. Yeah, you guessed it: country music. Maybe it's just me, but country makes summer, and these songs have me itching for school to be over and the sun to be out. And if you don't like country music, that probably won't last much longer.

"Big blue sky, green, green grass ain’t doing half bad for a half full glass, kiss me baby, yeah, just like that now, ain’t we livin’ the dream."

7. "Think of You" by Chris Young and Cascade Pope

"It's like there's always an empty space, those memories that nobody can erase of how bright we burned, well now it hurts, but it's true when they think of me, they think of you."

8. "Drunk on Your Love" by Brett Eldredge

"The second she walked through the door, I caught a buzz, one taste from your lips knocked me out just like a drug, the rest of the night's kind of blurry. Now the sun's peeking through the shades, I can't help but laugh, 'cause I kind of like feeling this way."

9. "Snapback" by Old Dominion

"You play it off a little shy but baby, you're a heart-stealer and right here in this car it's like you know that smile was gonna melt me down like you know those lips are what I'm needing right now."

And would the list be complete without a little ZBB?

13. "Beautiful Drug" by Zac Brown Band

"I got a death wish her looks can kill. She's got a red dress, lipstick and heels. Pull me in, get me hooked like a junkie, you got me feeling so high."
