  • I had the greatest day of my life
    The boys were shootin' 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 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
    It 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 Writer/s: Zachary Lane Bryan
