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 on to

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 Fourth, hugged up by the levy

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 at 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
