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 
 '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

 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've had
 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 
 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
