4Social Distortion Story Of My Life Lyrics

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 y'know she never seemed
to notice
that this silly school-boy 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;
(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.
chorus:
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.
wonderin' bout what you're doin' now
and when you're comin' back
