(Verse 1)
(D)I was a blacktop traveler, accident waiting to happen
But (G)thank God you and your daddy pulled over, and let that tailgate down
(D)Never would I have imagined, when you (D)set me up in the back of that truck
Ifd (G)fell in hands of a (D/F#)new best friend, (Em)looking back at it now (A)

(Chorus)
(G)That was the best life I could ask for
(G)Bruises and cuts and covered in mud
And (D)feet up on the dashboard
(D)Picking up girls, not a worry in the world
And (Em)you and me, made a good team
You (D/F#)took me in when I (G)didn't have a prayer
That was the (D/F#)best life I could ask for
(Em)Now that I'm looking (A)back on those (G)dog years
 / / / |G) / / / |(D) / / / |(D) / / / |

(Verse 2)
(D)Something about those little things
(D)Flat head cats on a river bank
Chasing (G)white tailed deer, stealing your dad's beer
You (D)poured a little on the ground for me
And (D)who could forget that first kiss
Come to (D)think of it man I'm sure I convinced her
When she (G)asked if you were next (D/F#)
After I laid (Em)one on her cheek (A)

(Chorus)
Yeah, (G)that was the best life I could ask for
(G)Bruises and cuts and covered in mud
And (D)feet up on the dashboard
(D)Picking up girls, not a worry in the world
And (Em)you and me, made a good team
You (D/F#)took me in when I (G)didn't have a prayer
That was the (D/F#)best life I could ask for
(Em)Now that I'm looking (A)back on those (G)dog years

(Instrumental)

(Bridge)
And right (D/F#)now I know you're (G)fightinf
A lot of (D/F#)feelings staring at me
Knowing (Em)this time when you scratch my head
It'll (D/F#)probably be the last
But if (G)I could speak your language
All that (D/F#)I would do is thank you
For the (Em)best years
Though they went by seven (A)times too fast

(Chorus)
Cause that was the (G)best life I could ask for
(G)Bruises and cuts and covered in mud
And (D)feet up on the dashboard
(D)Picking up girls, not a worry in the world
And (Em)you and me, made a good team
You (D/F#)took me in when I (G)didn't have a prayer
That was the (G)best life I could (D/F#)ask for
The (G)best life I could (D/F#)ask for
The (G)best life I could (D/F#)ask for
(Em)Now that I'm looking (A)back on those (D)dog years / / / |(D) / /

(Outro)
