I first heard of Social Distortion in high school in 1988-89 but never got into them. Maybe it was the songs I heard. Then in 1990 I was in the Army with this guy from Sacramento. On paper we were complete opposites. He was a skatepunk kid from California and I was a Cajun from a small town on the bayou in Louisiana. But boy did we click and it was magic. Went through basic, AIT, sent to Korea together and kept in touch over the years. He reintroduced me to them and I have loved the band ever since. Unfortunately he got murdered a few years back but every time I listen to this band I think about him. Rest easy Kevin. Our paths will cross again and if you get to the women and booze first just save some for me.

My dad loved social distortion, he was hardcore punk rock back in his teenage years and lived a life really similar to this song.
He ended having a stroke two years back and ended up going into a coma he never came out of. While he was in the hospital I sat and listened to this song daily with him, I love this song but it brings me tears almost every time so I listen to it sparingly. Anyways I just wanted to share, thank you Social Distortion for bringing joy to both me and my dad.

Story of my life
Well, 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
About a rock 'n' roll weekend
And the girl in the front of the room
So close yet so far, you know she never seemed to notice
That this silly school-boy crush wasn't just pretend
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
Story of my life
Story of my life
The story of my life
And I went down to my old neighborhood
The faces have all changed, there's no one there left to talk to
And the pool hall I loved as a kid
Is now a Seven Eleven
And I went downtown to look for a job
I had no training, no experience to speak of
And I looked at the holes in my jeans
And turned and headed back
Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
And good times come and good times go
I only wish the good times would last a little longer
And 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
Life goes by so fast
You only wanna do what you think is right
Close your eyes and it's past
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
Story of my life
The story of my life
