Story Of My Life

High school seemed like such a blur,

I didn't have much interest in sports or

School elections.

And in class I dreamed all day,

About a rock 'n' roll weekend.

And the girl in the front of the room, so close yet so far y'know she never seemed

To notice

That this silly school-boy crush

Wasn't just pretend.

chorus:

Life goes by so fast, you only want to do what you think is right.

Close your eyes and then it's past;

(It's the) Story of my life.

And I went down to my old neighborhood,

The faces have all changed, there's no one left to talk to.

And the pool hall I loved as a kid

Is now a Seven Eleven.

I went downtown to look for a job,

I had no training, no experience to speak of.

I looked at the holes in my jeans

And turned and headed back.

chorus:

Life goes by so fast, you only want to do what you think is right.

Close your eyes and then it's past;

(It's the) Story of my life.

Good times come and good times go,

I only wish the good times would last a

Little longer.

I think about the good times we had

And why they had to end.

So I sit at the edge of my bed,

I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw

love song.

Wonderin' bout what you're doin' now

And when you're comin' back.
