Intro
Yeah
Turn it up
If you know the words, sing it
Verse 1
Truck in reverse, boat hits the water
Sun beats down like it owes us a dollar
Straw hat low, chain still shine
Country in my blood, city on my time
Cooler packed tight, ice stay crackin’
Bass from the deck got the whole lake clappin’
Barefoot steps on the white boat floor
Soon as we float, don’t need nothin’ more
Pre-Chorus
Pontoon lean, let the good times roll
Slow down life, let the bad times go
Radio loud, let the whole lake hear
This that time of year right here
Chorus
Wakes and whiskey, cold beer too
Sun on our skin, sky so blue
Hands up high, wave ‘em slow
If you love this life, let everybody know
Float all day, don’t need luck
Just a full tank and a little good buzz
If you ain’t smilin’, you ain’t been here
Wakes and whiskey when the summer here
Verse 2
Jet ski flying past a no-wake sign
The Girls in the boat yellin’ “play it one more time”
Old school twang on a new school beat
Bare feet dance when the boat rock free
No cell service, that’s just fine
Only thing blowin’ up is a good time
If tomorrow comes, we’ll deal somehow
Right now toast to the here and now
Pre-Chorus
Chain swing light with a southern sway
Long neck drip on a hot lake day
Sing it loud, don’t miss a word
This song sound better slurred
Chorus
Wakes and whiskey, ice in the cup
Boat stay floatin’, vibes stay up
808s knock while the water stare
Country soul with a city flair
All day drift, no plans, no fear
From the dock to the deep, yeah we disappear
If it ain’t loud, it ain’t welcome here
Wakes and whiskey when the summer here
Bridge
Say “WAKES!” (WAKE!)
Say “WHISKEY!” (WHISKEY!)
One more song, one more round
If you hear this beat, turn it up loud
Final Chorus
Wakes and whiskey, cold beer too
Same old friends, same old truth
Sun goes down, stars appear
Still singin’ loud without a fear
Float all night, don’t need much
Just lake water and the ones we love
If this ain’t heaven, it’s real damn near
Wakes and whiskey when the summer here
