The Best Day

We loaded up my old station wagon

With a tent, a Coleman, and sleeping bags

Some fishing poles, a cooler of cokes

Three days before we had to be back

When you're seven you're in seventh heaven

When you're going camping in the wild outdoors

As we turned up on that old dirt road

He looked at me and swore

Dad, this could be the best day of my life

I've been dreaming day and night about the fun we've had

Just me and you doing what I've always wanted to

I'm the luckiest boy alive

This is the best day of my life

His fifteenth birthday rolled around

Classic cars were his thing

When I pulled in the drive with that old 'vette

I thought that boy would go in sane

When you're in your teens

Your dreams revolve around four spinning wheels

You worked nights on end

'Till it was new again

And as he sat behind the wheel

He said Dad

This could be the best day of my life

I've been dreaming day and night

About the fun we've had

Just me and you

Doing what I've always wanted to

I'm the luckiest boy alive

This is the best day of my life

Standing in a little room

Back of the church with our tuxes on

Looking at him I say I can't believe son that you're grown

He said Dad

This could be the best day of my life

I've been dreaming day and night

Of being like you

Now its me and her

Watching you and mom I've learned

I'm the luckiest man alive

This is the best day of my life

I'm the luckiest man alive

This is the best day of my life
