Reel Big Fish - 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,
Of a rock 'n' roll weekend
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
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.
[Chorus]

Reel Big Fish Story Of My Life Comments
Sorry dudes,social d still rocks
Who said they didn't?
Its a fun different version, but the original uh yeeeeeeaaa
1.25 speed is the key!
Im still dreaming of a rock and roll weekend.
Ooooh social distortion. Nice
This is neat. Makes me think of Smash Mouth. Also, the very last note, IMO, sounds like the first note of 19-2000 by Gorillaz.
RobotSnake You are literally me and it totally sounds just like it
its good but the originals better
Yep, this rocks.
I think I dig this version more than the original
a cover of one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands, hell yeahhhh
It's the worst cover of any song ever!
Reel big fish, pleas come to Serbia, we probably have 300 fans , but never mind, well all come to the gig xD ! it will be a party !!!
Mrkonja42 shit im a third gen serbian american. id love to visit serbia and see rbf. everyone who sees me thinks im italian. you ever have that problem?
millencolin has a song with exactly th same name ;)
The quality is close, but No Cigar.
*ba dum tish*
Don't tell me to fuck off. I was expressing my opinion. I don't give a fuck what your reasoning is. I don't have to like the song, therefore, I don't. As an individual, I have a right to think what I want, and I think this song sucks. You don't, so leave it at that. That gives you no logical reason to talk shit to somebody else. Just another example of how keyboards make people react without thinking.
fuck off. its called a remix. they respect social d and wanted to add a ska remix. thats it
Muito bom ...
it's called a cover. It's a pretty good cover imo, not as good as the original, but RBF added their special flavor
I'd marry Scott's voice.
cannot unhear winter wrap up!
i admit it sounds similar in beat but seriously this > winter wrap up
They shat on one of my favorite Ness songs. Disgraceful.
I keep waiting for this song to speed up double time, but it never does. It's like a roller coaster that never has a big hill, or jerking it without ever getting anywhere.
@xxKaoruLoverxx: maybe thats were mlp got it from
As a huge fan of Reel Big Fish, I hate this song with a passion.
This is one of my favorite tracks off this album. Love it! Its hard to decide if this or the original is better. They both have quite different feels.
why cant you watch this in a playlist :S
dammit... now i can't unhear it... T.T
@ngamer616 how did i never notice that.... just wow
Social Distortion recorded a song for the ages with this one. Stilll this is as solid a cover as one could expect from anyone. It's no Take On Me...where RBF took a crappy song and made it rock...but adding a horn section and ska backbeat to Story of My Life, if not inproves on the orginal...at least compliments it respectfully and intelligently.
This kinda reminds me of dubstep, not ska.. at least not the ska i've come to expect from RBF. If I'm crazy let me know! haha
@ngamer616 oh my fucking god...this song will never be the same.
I like this version better(:
i like both versions, social distortions is better but reel big fish put their own twist to the song which is nice.
D= i love Reel Big Fish But the Social Distortion version is much better than this one for me D'=
It's a nice cover. I grew up with the Social D version, so I prefer it. This one is different enough to feel fresh, but still recognizable. Good song.
Winter wrap up winter wrap up!
So I heard this song was inspired by Winter Wrap Up...
@RaptureandZune how so?
The mood is just wrong for this song.
@Spanovich008 I agree with you.
their best song
no one made you listen to this but yourself so don't bitch
che diavolo è sta merda?????
The Social Distortion Version of this song is absolutely bangin!! However I really like this song too. I personally think the original is a little bit better, but they are both great songs. They are both good in their own way.
They removed the guitar melody, it's not nearly as good as the origional, Social Distortion wrote a punk classic, and a just a damn good song, this is a below average song, the vocals aren't bad, but the music doesn't fit the song
? They completely gutted this song, I love reggae inspired stuff, but this is just bad, they took out all the meaning and just put together a bad tribute to a great song.
i love aron's voice (is aron spelt right, i think it has 2 rs but oh well)
JoeyDean There are apparently 2 spellings of it AFAIK.
thoug not as good as the original, still great
awesome!
agreed!
