Orange County movie - Story Of My Life lyrics

rate me

Song by Social Distortion<br /><br>

High school seemed like such a blur<br>

I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections<br>

And in class I dreamed all day<br>

About a rock 'n' roll weekend<br>

And the girl in the front of the room<br>

So close yet so far <br>

Y'know she never seemed to notice <br>

That this silly school-boy crush wasn't just pretend<br>

<br>

Chorus: <br>

Life goes by so fast<br>

You only want to do what you think is right<br>

Close your eyes and then it's past; <br>

(it's the) story of my life<br>

<br>

And I went down to my old neighborhood<br>

The faces have all changed, there's no one left to talk to<br>

And the pool hall I loved as a kid is now a seven eleven<br>

<br>

I went downtown to look for a job<br>

I had no training, no experience to speak of<br>

I looked at the holes in my jeans and turned and headed back<br>

<br>

Chorus<br>

<br>

Good times come and good times go<br>

I only wish the good times would last a little longer<br>

I think about the good times we had and why they had to end<br>

<br>

So I sit at the edge of my bed<br>

I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song<br>

Wonderin' bout what you're doin' now and when you're comin' back<br>

<br>

Chorus<br>

<br>
