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 '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 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
