The Best Day - George Strait

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 pulled up on that old dirt road

He looked at me and swore

Daddy 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

His sixteenth birthday rolled around

Classic cars were his thing

When I pulled in the drive with that old vet

I thought that boy would go in sane

When you re in your teens

Your dreams revolve around four spinning wheels

You 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 its 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
