Title: Sunrise, Sunset, Sunburn

​Artist: Luke Bryan

Economic Concepts: Public goods

Details: An example of public goods can be heard in "Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset" by Luke Bryan.  One of life's great pleasures is watching a beautiful sunrise or sunset.  What makes this experience even better, is that any one individual's consumption of it doesn't make it any less beautiful or stunning for others.  The song also describes a full moon and a night sky lit up with stars, which a group
of friends are all able to enjoy without decreased utility for any one individual.     

         

Lyrics
Your daddy had a lakehouse
He had me paint it that summer sophomore year
Said I could stay for free
A couple buddies, a couple weeks
You rode in in a little red Honda
And headed straight for the pier
Tank top and cutoff jeans
A little back sun underneath
Who knew it was 'bout to be

Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Moonlight, all night, crashin' into me
Nothin' will ever be easy as you and me
Tangled up with nowhere to be
Just sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat, ayy

I turned those shutters the color of your eyes
'Til the day turned into night
And took turns with a jar
Turned that boat dock into a bar
And then we passed the guitar around the fire to each other
And watched all of our friends pair off with one another
But we felt like the stars we were under
And everybody knew that that was our summer

Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Moonlight, all night, crashin' into me
Nothin' will ever be easy as you and me
Tangled up with nowhere to be
Just sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Yeah

(Whoa ooo ooa)
We set July on fire
(Whoa ooo ooa)
Yeah, girl, you and I were
Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat

Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Moonlight, all night, crashin' into me
Nothin' will ever be easy as you and me
Tangled up with nowhere to be
Just sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Yeah

(Whoa ooo ooa)
We set July on fire
Whoa ooo ooa)
Yeah, girl, you and I were
Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
Sunrise, sunburn, sunset, repeat
