Reel Big Fish - Story of My Life Lyrics

Artist: Reel Big Fish

Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Mike Ness

Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life

Well, high school seemed like such a blur
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections
And in class I dreamed of a
Rock n' roll weekend

And the girl in the front of the room
So close yet so far, you know she never seemed to notice
That this silly schoolboy crush
Wasn't just pretend

Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life

Well, I went down my to old neighborhood
The faces have all changed, there's no one there left to talk to
And the pool hall that I loved as a kid
Is now a seven eleven

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

Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life

Now good times come and good times go
I only wish the good times would last a little longer
I'm thinkin' 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 an' I sing an outlaw love song
Thinkin' about what you're doin' now
And when you're comin' back

Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life

Story of my life
Story of my life
The story of my life
The story of my life
