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
I know she never seemed to notice
that this silly school-boy crush
wasn't just pretend.


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.


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.
thinking about what you're doin' now
and when you're comin' back.


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.
