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 'bout 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
In this silly school-boy crush wasn't just pretend
Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and then 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
There's no one left to talk to
And the pool hall I loved as a kid is now a 7-Eleven
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 then it's past
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
And 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
I think about 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 then it's past
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
