F F F F .
[VERSE ONE]
F I was a blacktop traveler
F An accident waiting to happen
F And thank God you and your Daddy pulled over and let that tailgate down
F Never would I have imagined
F F When you set me up in the back of that truck I'd fell in the hands of a new best friend
Cm C Looking back at it now
[CHORUS]
F That was the best life I could ask for
F F Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
F Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
Cm And you and me, made a good team
G#m F You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
F F That was the best life I could ask for
Cm C F F Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
[VERSE TWO]
F Something about those little things
F Flathead cats on a riverbank
F Chasing white tail deer
F Stealin' your Dad's beer
F You'd pour a little on the ground for me
F And who could forget that first kiss
F Come to think of it, man, I'm sure I convinced her
F When she asked if you were next
F/Gm Cm C After I laid one on her cheek
[CHORUS]
F Yeah, that was the best life I could ask for
F Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
F Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
Cm And you and me, made a good team
G#m F You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
F F That was the best life I could ask for
Cm C F Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
F F C Mm hmm, hmm
[BRIDGE]
F F/Gm And right now I know you're fightin' a lot of feelings
Starin' at me
Cm G#m Knowin' this time when you scratch my head it'll probably be the last
F But if I could speak your language
F/Gm Cm All that I would Do is thank you for the best years
Cm C Though they went by seven times too fast
[CHORUS]
F That was the best life I could ask for
F F Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
F Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
Cm And you and me, made a good team
G#m F You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
F F/Gm That was the best life I could ask for
F F/Gm The best life I could ask for
F F/Gm The best life I could ask for
Cm C F Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
F All those dog years
