George Strait - The Best Day lyrics

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 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 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 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 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've 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
