We loaded up my old station wagon

With a tent, 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

And as we turned off o that old dirt road,

He looked at me and swore



(Chorus)

Dad, this could be the best day of my life

I've been dreamin' day and night 'bout the fun we'll have

It's 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



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 dreamin' day and night 'bout the fun we'll have

It's 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're grown"

He said



Dad, this could be the best day of my life

I've been dreamin' day and night 'bout 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
