Dreams try hard, but they don't get far around a sawmill town
Earn your dime, spend your time just hanging around
Seems the more you give, the more you get behind
That's the story of my life
Try and explain why you're going away, but words aren't enough
It's a lonesome sound when a screen door slams on a teenage love
You wanna leave, but you don't wanna say goodbye
That's the story of my life
Feeling alive, catching a ride on an outbound train
Riding high till you're caught in the night, thumbing around in the rain
Keep your feet on the ground while you're reaching for the sky
That's the story of my life
Memories and years turn into tears and turn you around
Came back to find what I left behind, but that ain't what I found
I still love you, but I can't love another man's wife
I wanna leave, but I don't wanna say goodbye
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
