A Good Day

Saw you at the football games
Everybody knew your name
Once or twice I'd seen you smile at me
I was scared to ask you out
I was sure that you would turn me down
But I took that chance
'Cause how cool would that be?

Then what do you know
You said you'd go
And there we were

Walking barefoot down by the water
Sun was hot, but you made it hotter
Found that shade tree there by the riverbank
Sitting there, our toes all muddy
That first kiss was sweeter than honey
And every time that I look back, I say
"Man, that was a good day"

We all have our memories
The ones we lose, the ones we keep
The ones we know we'll always hold onto
I've had my days, good and bad
But the best ones that I've had
Always seem to start and end with you

Yeah, those are the times
I know that I won't forget

Like that July 4th, hugged up by the levee
You squeezed me hard and told me you loved me
Fireworks flying, taking our breath away
Felt like we were melting together
Thinking I could do this forever
And every time that I look back, I say
"Man, that was a good day"

When we're finished with this ride
And we're on the other side
Bet we'll look back on this life and say

Man, that was a good day
Man, that was a good day
Man, that was a good day
Man, that was a good day
Man, that was a good day
Man, that was a good day
Oh, that was a good day
Man, that was a good day
I saw you at the football games
Everybody knew your name
Once or twice I'd seen you smile at me
