(Verse 1)
Last (D)night in Carolina, I went back to Daytona beach
A (G)Sunday in '98, watchin' you watch number 3
And (D)dad, I've played some damn cool places I wish you coulda seen
But (G)I know you were up there with a (Em)racin' heart like me

(Chorus)
'Cause last (G)night I met Dale Junior, (Em)backstage at a show
We (D)drank a few Bud Heavy's
And he said, "Man, you know (G)who should be here right now"
With (Em)his arm round my back
We didn't (D)talk about gold records or all of his checkered flags
Naw, (Em)we just did what (D/F#)missin' dad son's (G) do
Yeah, last (D/F#)night I met Dale (Em)Junior
And all we (G)talked about was (A)Senior and you (D)
Yeah, (Em)Se-(D/F#)nior and you (G)

(Verse 2)
Yeah, (D)I said, "I'ma go ahead and tell you sorry for (Em) (D/F#)
The (G)way my old man gave your old man hell in heaven for not drivin' a Ford"
(D) And I know you woulda asked him 'bout the new motors in the cars (Em) (D/F#)
But while the (G)band was breakin' down, we had a (Em)broken heart to heart

(Chorus)
Last (G)night I met Dale Junior, (Em)backstage at a show
We (D)drank a few Bud Heavy's
And (D)he said, "Man, you know (G)who should be here right now"
With (Em)his arm round my back
We didn't (D)talk about gold records or all of his checkered flags
Naw, (Em)we just did what (D/F#)missin' dad son's (G) do
(D/F#)Yeah, last (Em)night I met Dale Junior
And all we (G)talked about was (A)Senior and you

(Bridge)
We took a (G)picture on my phone
And I (D/F#)wanted to send it to
The (Em)biggest number (D/F#)3 fan I (G) knew
Yeah, dad, that's (Em)you

(Chorus)
Last (G)night I met Dale Junior, (Em)backstage at a show
We (D)poured out two Bud Heavy's for the two best men we know
Yeah, (G)who should be here right now
With (Em)their arms round our backs
We didn't (D)talk about gold records or all of his checkered flags
Naw, (Em)we just did what (D/F#)missin' dad son's (G) do
Last (Em)night I met Dale Junior
And all we (G)talked about was (A)Senior and you
