Up in the morning at the break of dawn
A couple good friends and a couple good songs, on the radio
Everything you need in the back of the car
You've got the open road and a Texaco card, and you're on your own
The Gulf Coast water was warm and blue
You snuck onto a boat and took a twilight cruise, it was the craziest thing you ever did
You told that girl you've always liked
One day you're gonna make her your wife, and she turns bright red
When the seasons change like they will
When the falling leaves seem to echo how you feel
When your whole world turns from July to November
This is the day, this is the day, this is the day you will remember
On a little dirt road just out of town
On a ridge with a view of the sun going down
And your heart beating in your chest
The sparkle took her by surprise
She never saw it coming you could see it in her eyes
She just nodded yes
When the seasons change like they will
When the falling leaves seem to echo how you feel
When your whole world turns from July to November
This is the day, this is the day, this is the day you will remember
Your wife wakes you up in the middle of the night
Says it's not a false alarm this time, and your scared to death
You hold her hand and you say a prayer
Tears well up as the moment draws near
You'll see his first breath
When the seasons change like they will
When the falling leaves seem to echo how you feel
When your whole world turns from July to November
This is the day, this is the day, this is the day you will remember
A couple good friends and a couple good songs, on the radio
Everything you need in the back of the car
You've got the open road and a Texaco card, and you're on your own
The Gulf Coast water was warm and blue
You snuck onto a boat and took a twilight cruise, it was the craziest thing you ever did
You told that girl you've always liked
One day you're gonna make her your wife, and she turns bright red
When the seasons change like they will
When the falling leaves seem to echo how you feel
When your whole world turns from July to November
This is the day, this is the day, this is the day you will remember
