The Greatest Day of My Life

I had the greatest day of my life Boys were shooting doubles under western starlight I rode a boat across the bay Phoenix to Seattle to San Francisco Hearing Debbie laugh under downtown bar-glow Louie telling me he feels free from yesterday Drank a cup of coffee a couple hours south of the place I used to run around When I was too young to really know The difference in love and longing for it When to shut up and when to stay with it How to forgive and just let go 'Cause this is, the greatest day of my life If I move or close my eyes it'll be gone and so will I So, come on in and stay awhile Years are just moments in a great big pile She's there laughing on the porch swing of my mind And I'm just grateful to be here at closing time I had the greatest day of my life Wrote up a single in a New York high-rise How the city makes a country boy dream Played pool in Colorado after snow all night Rained in Carolina but we played just fine Charles is always better than last week What did I do to deserve all this? A roof over my head and a band that don't miss Healthy dog that hugs me when I'm home Nowadays, I don't feel so alone It can't get better, but what have I ever known? 'Cause this is, the greatest day of my life If I move or close my eyes it'll be gone and so will I So, come on in and stay awhile Years are just moments in a great big pile She's there laughing on the porch swing of my mind Nowadays, I ain't so lonely all the time And I'm just grateful to be here at closing time I had the greatest day of my life The boys were shooting doubles Under western starlight I rode a boat across the bay
