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
Was it that last week, or was it this one to?
Man it’s getting 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,
and wake up on the floor at noon,
A self-made music man betted on black,
if you win it you can let it ride,
Baby, it feels 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 going
Babe I gotta go, I gotta show to do
Man it’s getting 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,
and 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,
and 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
