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

Red dirt summer don't get much better than that
F G C
'Cause I had it all, Katy in the front, Beau in the back

[Verse 3]
C F G
I was headed into town that day, I had Beau in the back
C F G
We both knew it was time, don't get much harder than that

Well, I cried just like a baby when he licked me on the cheek
Am G F
And a lifetime full of memories came back to me
[Chorus]

Like That Summer was like no other

Like I was on top of thе world

This boy had it made with a first crank Chevrolet
