Story Of My Life - Social Distortion + Lyrics

Details

Description

Social Distortion (sometimes referred to simply as Social D) is an American rock band formed in 1979 in Fullerton, California. The band currently consists of Mike Ness (vocals, guitars), Jonny Wickersham (guitars), Brent Harding (bass) and Adam "Atom" Willard (drums). They are often credited as one of the leading bands of the 1980s hardcore punk explosion.

The group briefly disbanded in 1985, due to frontman Ness' drug addiction, but reformed around 1986 and have continued being active today, even after the death of longtime guitarist Dennis Danell, who succumbed to a brain aneurysm in 2000. Since their inception the band lineup has been a virtual revolving-door of talent, with many members coming and going Ness has been the only constant member.

Among mainstream audiences, Social Distortion are best known for their hit singles "Ball and Chain", "Story of My Life", "I Was Wrong" and "Reach for the Sky" as well as a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire."

Social Distortion have influenced various contemporary artists, such as Alkaline Trio, Dropkick Murphys, Goldfinger, Good
Charlotte, MxPx, Pearl Jam, Rise Against, The Suicide Machines, and Sum 41, as well as many notable California punk bands such as ALL, Big Drill Car, blink-182, Bullets and Octane, Chemical People, Face to Face, Jawbreaker, No Use for a Name, The Offspring, Pennywise, Rancid, Thrice, And Manny Unknown Bands Such as my friends.

Social Distortion was formed in late 1978 by frontman Mike Ness out of Orange County, California. The original lineup consisted of Ness on lead guitar, Rikk and Frank Agnew on guitars, and Casey Royer on drums. Ness met Dennis Danell, who was a year older, in high school and insisted he join the band on bass guitar even though Danell had never played an instrument before. When Danell was brought in, Frank, Rikk and Casey left to form their own band. Mike and Dennis remained the only constant members for the next two decades, with bass and drums changing hands every few years.

Lyrics:

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 bout a rock and roll weekend.
oh, oh, ho.

And the girl in 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.
oh, oh, ho.

CHORUS
Life goes by so fast.
You only want to do what you think is right.
Close your eyes and its past.
It's the story of my life, story of my life.
la, la, la, ha, ha. story of my life.

I went down to my old neighborhood.
The faces have all changed, there's no one left to talk to.
And the pool hall that I loved as a kid,
Is now a seven-eleven.
Oh oh ho.

And I went downtown to look for a job.
I had no training no, experience to speak of.
Then I looked at the holes in my jeans,
And turned and headed back.
Oh oh ho.

Repeat 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.
Oh, oh, ho.

So I sit at the edge of my bed.
I strummed my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song.
I think about what you're doin now,
And when you're comin back.
Oh oh ho.

Repeat chorus

story of my life, story of my life La, la.da, da, da. Story of my life.
