Story of my life



Well, 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 you know, she never seemed to notice

That this silly schoolboy crush

Wasn't just pretend



Life goes by so fast

You only wanna do what you think is right

Close your eyes and it's past

Story of my life, story of my life

Story of my life, story of my life



And I went down to my old neighborhood

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

And the pool hall I loved as a kid

Is now a 7-Eleven



And I went downtown to look for a job

I had no training, no experience to speak of

And I looked at the holes in my jeans

And turned and headed back



Life goes by so fast

You only wanna do what you think is right

Close your eyes and it's past

Story of my life, story of my life

Story of my life, 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'm singin' out my love song

Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now

And when you're comin' back



Life goes by so fast

You only wanna do what you think is right

Close your eyes and it's past

Story of my life, story of my life

Story of my life, story of my life
