Verso 1: 
Well 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 
Ah ah ah ah 

Verso 2: 
And the girl in the front of the room 
So close yet so far ya know she never seemed to notice 
That this silly schoolboy crush 
Wasn't just pretend 
Ah ah ah ah 

refão w/Rhythm Figure 1: 
Life goes by so fast 
You only want to do what you think is right 
Close your eyes then it's past 
Story of my life 
Story of my life 
La la la la 
Story of my life 
Story of my life 
Verso 3: 
And I went down to my old neighborhood 
The faces have all changed, there's no one there left to talk to 
And the pool hall I loved as a kid 
Is now a Seven-Eleven 
Ah ah ah ah 

Verso 4: 
And I went downtown to look for a job 
I had no training, no experience to speak of 
And I looked at the holes in my jeans  
And I turned and headed back 
Ah ah ah ah

Verso 5: 
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 
Ah ah ah ah 

Verso 6: 
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 doing now 
And when you're coming back 
Ah ah ah ah
