Beau In The Back
I was headin' 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 at 8" And, man, that summer, it was like no other Like I was on top of the world This boy had it madе with a first crank Chevrolet Good dog and a girl Therе 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 SongtexteWell, 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 Mmm Aus Songtexte Mania
