 [VERSE ONE]
 D 
 I was a blacktop traveler
  D 
 An accident waiting to happen
      G 
 And thank God you and your Daddy pulled over and let that tailgate down
   D 
 Never would I have imagined
   D                                                G 
 When you set me up in the back of that truck I'd fell in the hands of a new best friend
   Em                 A 
 Looking back at it now

 [CHORUS]
               G 
 That was the best life I could ask for
   G                                      D 
 Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
  D 
 Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
      Em
 And you and me, made a good team
       F#m                               G 
 You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
               G                 D 
 That was the best life I could ask for
   Em                   A              G   D 
 Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
 
 [VERSE TWO]
  D 
 Something about those little things
  D 
 Flathead cats on a riverbank
           G
 Chasing white tail deer
  G
 Stealin' your Dad's beer
   G
 You'd pour a little on the ground for me
     D 
 And who could forget that first kiss
   D 
 Come to think of it, man, I'm sure I convinced her
             G 
 When she asked if you were next
   D/F#            Em          A
 After I laid one on her cheek

 [CHORUS]
                     G 
 Yeah, that was the best life I could ask for
                                          D 
 Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
  D 
 Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
      Em
 And you and me, made a good team
       F#m                               G 
 You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
               G                 D 
 That was the best life I could ask for
   Em                   A              G     
 Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
 G        D   A
 Mm hmm, hmm
 
 [BRIDGE]
        G                                        D/F#
 And right now I know you're fightin' a lot of feelings

 Starin' at me
           Em                                          F#m
 Knowin' this time when you scratch my head it'll probably be the last
        G 
 But if I could speak your language
          D/F#                             Em 
 All that I would do is thank you for the best years
  Em                            A 
 Though they went by seven times too fast
 
 [CHORUS]
               G
 That was the best life I could ask for
   G                                      D 
 Bruises and cuts and covered in mud and feet up on the dashboard
  D 
 Pickin' up girls, not a worry in the world
      Em
 And you and me, made a good team
       F#m                               G 
 You took me in when I didn't have a prayer
               G                D/F# 
 That was the best life I could ask for
   G              D/F# 
 The best life I could ask for
     G                  D/F# 
 The best life I could ask for
    Em                  A             D 
 Now that I'm looking back on those dog years
             G 
 All those dog years
