Songfacts®:

  • "Summer Job Money" is a feel-good jam where Chris Lane recalls getting a summer job as a 17-year-old to pay for college. Years later, he tells his girl it's a good thing they didn't meet when he was 17 as he'd have blown all his hard-earned summer job money on her.
  • John Byron and Blake Pendergrass wrote the nostalgic tune. Lane said when he first heard "Summer Job Money" he immediately related to it because he'd worked a landscaping job until the very moment he signed his record deal.
  • Lane's regular man behind the boards, Joey Moi, created the song's upbeat acoustic production.
  • Justin Clough directed the video which continues the storyline of a summer fling that starts in the "Fill Them Boots" clip.
