We loaded up my old stationwagon
With a tent a coleman and sleepin' bags
Some fishin' 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 campin' in the wild outdoors
As we turned off on that old dirt road
He looked at me and swore…
Dad, this could be the best day of my life
I've been dreamin' 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 insane
When you're in your teens
Your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels
We worked nights on end till it was new again
And as he sat behind the wheel…
(repeat Chorus)
Standin' in a little room in back of the church with our tux's on
Lookin' 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 dreamin' day and night of being like you
Now it's me and her watchin' 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.
