The lyrics:

VERSE 1:
I've got the keys to the car
I'm goin out on an afternoon vacation
They all know where I'm gonna go 
The sun is shining down and
There is no one else around now
Wish you were here to hear me say
This is gonna be my greatest day
CHORUS:
How far would I go
How long would I stay
To see it all 
To carry it all back with me again
How hard would I try
Just to hear everybody say
This is gonna be my greatest day
VERSE 2:
Standing here, looking out on the world
And for a second nobody is looking back at me
I never even notice where they go
This is gonna be my greatest day
The sun is shining down and
There is no one else around now
Wish you were here to hear me say
This is gonna be my greatest day
