The Best Day Lyrics


We loaded up my old station wagon
With a tent, Coleman, sleepin' bags
Some fishin' poles, a cooler of cokes
3 days before we had to be backWhen your 7 and your in your 7th Heaven
Goin' campin' in the wild outdoors
As we turned off on that old dirt road
He looked at me and sworeDad, 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 doin' what I've always wanted to
I'm the luckiest boy around, this is the best day of my lifeHis 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 insaneWhen you're in your teens
Your dreams revolve around 4 spinning wheels
We're not zoned in till it was new again
And as he sat behind the wheelHe said, "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 doin' what I've always wanted to

I'm the luckiest boy around, this is the best day of my lifeStandin' in the middle of the room
Back of the church with our tuxes on
Lookin' at him I said
"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 about bein' like you
That'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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952 in Pearsall, Texas) is an American country music artist. He is known for his unique style of western swing music, bar-room ballads, honky-tonk style, and fresh yet traditional country western music. George Strait holds the world record for more #1 hit singles than any other artist in the history of music on any chart or in any genre. As of 2010 he has recorded 57 #1 hit singles on the Billboard Country Singles chart.

Strait rocketed to success after his first single "Unwound" gave him his first hit in 1981. While contributing to the neo-traditional movement of the 1980s, he amassed seven number one albums in the decade with his most popular hits including "Fool Hearted Memory" and "Ocean Front Property". By the 1990s, Strait had influenced a new breed of performers while continuing his own successes, having charted upwards of 20 number one hits including "Heartland" and "Blue Clear Sky". The next decade for which he was named Artist Of The Decade by the ACM, he was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame and won his first Grammy award for his hit album Troubadour. Strait continued his previous successes during this time, producing a more contemporary sound with moderate cross-over hits including "She'll Leave You with a Smile" and "You'll Be There".
