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,
|
Of 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 schoolboy 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;
|
Story of my life
|
|
And I went down 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]
|
|
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.
|
Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now
|
And when you're comin' back.
