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