G C
We loaded up my old stationwagon
D G
With a tent a coleman and sleepin' bags
C
Some fishin' poles a cooler of cokes
D G
Three days before we had to be back
Am D
When you're seven you're in seventh heaven

When you're going campin' in the wild outdoors

As we turned off on that old dirt road
Am D
He looked at me and swore…
([Refrão]

His 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 insane
Am
When you're in your teens
D G
Your dreams revolve around four spinnin' wheels
Am C
We worked nights on end till it was new again
Am D
And as he sat behind the wheel…
(repeat Chorus)

Standin' in a little room in back of the church with our tux's on

Lookin' at him I say, I can't believe son that you're grown…
