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