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

'Cause I had it all, Katy in the front, Beau in the back
