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

And, man, that summer, it was like no other
Like I was on top of the world
This boy had it made with a first crank Chevrolet

There wasn't a back road we didn't roll down
Lookin' back now, there's no doubt
Red dirt summer don't get much better than that

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