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'll have 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 We 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 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
