Verse
G C D
I was headed into town that day, I had Beau in the back
G C D
She came walkin' out of the station with an ice-cold six pack
G C D
And I'd like to think it was me that made her walk on up
E D C
But she bee-lined past the cab to the back of the truck
G C D
And said, "Oh my god, what's his name? I could just eat him up"
G
"I said his name is Beau, he's ten years old
C D
And I've had him since he was pup"
G
Turns out man's best friend is a hell of a wingman
C D
I have him to thank
E D
For the number she put in my phone
C
When she said, "Pick me up 8"
[Chorus]
C
And, man, that summer, it was like no other
G D
Like I was on top of thе world
C
This boy had it made with a first crank Chevrolet
G D
Good dog and a girl
C G
Thеre wasn't a back road we didn't roll down
E D
Lookin' back now, there's no doubt
E D C
Red dirt summer don't get much better than that
C D G
'Cause I had it all, Katy in the front, Beau in the back
[Verse 2]
G C D
Well, I saved up for over a year, hid every overtime dollar
G
Raced home early that day
C D
To slip that ring on his camouflage collar
G
Well, she walked in and we walked up
C D
And I dropped down to one knee
E D
Well, I just smiled and Beau went wild
C
When she said yes to me
[Chorus]
C
Man, that summer, it was like no other
G D
Like I was on top of thе world
C
This boy had it made with a first crank Chevrolet
G D
Good dog and a girl
C G
Thеre wasn't a back road we didn't roll down
E D
Lookin' back now, there's no doubt
E D C
Red dirt summer don't get much better than that
C D G
'Cause I had it all, Katy in the front, Beau in the back
[Bridge]
D C
But, man, that love got stronger day by day
D Am
But them old dogs don't get younger as time fades
C
[Verse 3]
G C D
I was headed into town that day, I had Beau in the back
G C D
We both knew it was time, don't get much harder than that
G C D
Well, I cried just like a baby when he licked me on the cheek
Em D C
And a lifetime full of memories came back to me
[Chorus]
C
Like That Summer was like no other
G D
Like I was on top of thе world
C
This boy had it made with a first crank Chevrolet
G D
Good dog and a girl
C G
Thеre wasn't a back road we didn't roll down

Lookin' back now, there's no doubt
