You only wanna do what you think is right
And why they had to end
And I looked at the holes in my jeans
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
And in class I dreamed all day 'bout a rock 'n' roll weekend
I only wish the good times would last a little longer
I had no training, no experience to speak of
Story of my life
Story of my life
You only wanna do what you think is right
Yeah, good times come and good times go
Story of my life
Life goes by so fast
Story of my life
High school seemed like such a blur
And the pool hall I loved as a kid is now a 7-11
Story of my life
Life goes by so fast
Close your eyes and it's past
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
Story of my life
And I went downtown to look for a job
Life goes by so fast
So close yet so far you know she never seemed to notice
And when you're comin' back
I strum my guitar and I sing an Outlaw love song
Story of my life
And I turned and headed back
I think about the good times we had
You only wanna do what you think is right
So I sit at the edge of my bed
Story of my life
Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now
The story of my life
Close your eyes and it's past
The faces have all changed, there's no one left to talk to
And the girl in the front of the room
Story of my life
That this silly schoolboy crush wasn't just pretend
And I went down to my old neighborhood
Close your eyes and it's past
