What better time for country music than the summertime? There's something about driving down the highway with the windows down, blasting some country music that can't be beat any other season. This summer, I've found not only some particularly outstanding country songs, but some pretty meaningful, catchy, and Instagram caption-worthy lyrics, as well. Here are 20 country lyrics to help get you through the rest of your summer:
1. "Hold the door, say please, say thank you, don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie. I know you got mountains to climb, but always stay humble and kind. When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you, when the work you put in is realized, let yourself feel the pride, but always stay humble and kind." - "Humble and Kind" by Tim McGraw.
2. "I've cussed on a Sunday, I've cheated and I've lied. I've fallen down from grace a few too many times, but I find holy redemption when I put this car in drive. Roll the windows down and turn up the dial." - "My Church" by Maren Morris.
3. "If that sun had just hung up in that sky just a little, just a little bit longer. If those blue water waves could've stayed at our feet instead of going out with the tide. If that wind was a friend, it'd still be blowing in like a warm southern whisper on her. She might have stayed forever and never, ever left these arms, if only I had a little more summertime." - "A Little More Summertime" by Jason Aldean.
4. "Put a little liquor in my coconut water, party all day like you at your alma mater. Put a little liquor in my coconut water, ice has started melting 'cause it’s always getting hotter." - "Vacation" by Thomas Rhett.
5. "It's a little too loud on the highway, I wanna pull back in your driveway. It's way too quiet at my place, wanna come on over, come on over? I just wanna hear that ringtone, I like it turned up when you're blowing up my phone. Wanna hear you say 'come on over,' 'cause when you tell me to come on over, I like the sound of that." - "I Like The Sound of That" by Rascal Flatts.
6. "You made the brightest days from the darkest nights. You're the river bank where I was baptized. Cleanse all the demons that were killing my freedom. Let me lay you down, give me to ya. Get you singing babe, hallelujah." - "H.O.L.Y." by Florida Georgia Line.
7. "This life will go by go by in the blink of an eye, but I wouldn't wanna spend it without you by my side. The clouds are gonna roll, the earth's gonna shake, but I'll be your shelter through the wind and the rain." - "From the Ground Up" by Dan + Shay.
8. "I wanna be a castaway and leave the world behind. Take a tropic holiday, say goodbye to keeping time. Wasting away down by the coast, Pacifico and chasing lime, easy living down in paradise." - "Castaway" by Zac Brown Band.
9. "Got what we need to make good vibes, good times and a damn good memory, we in good company." - "Good Company" by Jake Owen.
10. "I'm somewhere on a beach sipping something strong, got a new girl, she got it going on. We drink all day and party all night, I'm way too gone to have you on my mind." - "Somewhere on a Beach" by Dierks Bentley.
11. "When I think about those summer nights, singing out the window, on the back roads, 'Sweet Child o' Mine,' sipping on the Lokos, spark a light. Ain't it funny how the best days of my life was all that wasted time, all that wasted time?" - "Wasted Time" by Keith Urban.
12. "Hey, hey, what can I say? I can just lie and say it's all OK. Oh no, what can I do? Been goin' through hell gettin' over you, but it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to. No, it don't hurt, it don't hurt like it used to." - "It Don't Hurt Like It Used To" by Billy Currington.
13. "Sometimes I think it couldn't be any better, and I couldn't want you more, and sometimes I think we don't belong together, confusing love and war." - "Without a Fight" by Brad Paisley ft. Demi Lovato.
14. "Strictly outta curiosity, what would happen if you got with me? Kissin' you would hit the spot with me, come on, skip a couple rocks with me." - "Snapback" by Old Dominion.
15. "I hope you find the storm that you were chasing, hope your eyes are still full of dreams as they were that night when you slipped off those cut off jeans. When I hear the sound of high tide thunder, I can see your hair blowing in the breeze. I think about how you and that 21 summer made a man of me." - "21 Summer" by Brothers Osborne.
16. "The tan lines fading on my sun-kissed skin, hits me like a wave when I think about it. Sublime on the boombox, our bare feet in the sand, making out on the boardwalk, my heart on fire in his hands." - "Summer" by Cassadee Pope.

I know somebody, and you're lookin' right in his eyes." - "I Know Somebody" by LoCash.
20. "I'll be your smooth ride, that late night, your Walter White high, I'll be your first time, that's so right. Get you falling in love at the end of the night, with that good 'ish, that long trip, that sugar on your lips. That favorite habit, gotta have it, you can't quit, I got your fix." - "Fix" by Chris Lane.
