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