| We loaded up my old station wagon |
| 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 goin' 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 doin' 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 he said, |
| Dad, this could be the best day of my life. |
| I’ve been dreamin' day and night about the fun we’ve had. |
| Just me and you doin' what I’ve always wanted to. |
| I’m the luckiest boy alive |
| this is the best day of my life. |
| Standin' in a little room back of the church with our tuxes on, |
| Lookin' at him I say, I can’t believe, son that you’ve grown. |
| He said, |
| Dad, this could be the best day of my life. |
| I’ve been dreamin' day and night of bein' 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. |
