Story of My Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 Of a rock 'n' roll weekend [Verse 2] And the girl in the front of the room So close yet so far y'know she never seemed to notice That this silly schoolboy 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; Story of my life [Verse 3] And I went down 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 7-11 [Verse 4] 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; Story of my life [Verse 5] And good times come and good times go I only wish the good times would last a little longer And I think about the good times we had And why they had to end [Verse 6] So I sit at the edge of my bed I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song Thinkin' about what you're doin' now And when you're coming 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; Story of my life
