Story of My Life

Don't wait up on me, listen to your mother
Take care of your brother and the little ones too
Daddy's gone for the night, maybe just a couple

Wasn't that last week, or was it this one to?
Man it's gettin' hard tryin' to keep my act together like I'm supposed to
It ain't easy poundin' the pavement like we used to

Man I can't get right, every town every night
I wake up on the floor at noon
A self-made music man betted on black
If you win it you can let it ride
Maybe she was right, that's the story of my life
Ooh, ooh, story of my life
Ooh, ooh, story of my life

I know I hadn't called, I know it's been awhile
I swear I'll make it up to you when I get through
Don't remember where I've been, don't know where I'm goin'
Babe I gotta go, I gotta show to do
Man it's gettin' hard tryin' to keep my act together like I'm supposed to
It ain't easy poundin' the pavement like we used to

Man I can't get right, every town every night
I wake up on the floor at noon
A self-made music man betted on black
If you win it you can let it ride
Maybe she was right, that's the story of my life
Ooh, ooh, story of my life
Ooh, ooh, story of my life

Ooh, ooh
Ain't it crazy how the time goes by?
You can't fetch the water when the wells runs dry

Man I can't get right, every town every night
I wake up on the floor at noon
A self-made music man betted on black
If you win it you can let it ride
Maybe she was right, that's the story of my life
Ooh, ooh, story of my life
Ooh, ooh, story of my life
Ooh, Ooh, story of my life
