The Best Day

We loaded up my old station wagon
With a tent, 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
And as we turned off o 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 'bout the fun we'll have
It's 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

Well, 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 insane
When you're in your teens
Your dreams revolve around four spinning wheels
We worked nights on end 'til 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 'bout the fun we'll have
It's 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 'bout being like you
Now it's 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
