CHORDS------G C D In that order for the entire song.

G C D
'bout a rock & roll weekend.
Chorus---

Life goes by so fast

Story of my liiiiiiiiiife.
******I hope your the picture by now*************
******Here are the rest of the words*************
2.
Well 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.
3.
Well I went down to the old neighborhood
the faces had all changed nobody left to talk to
and the pool hall I loved as a kid
is now a 7/11.
4.
Good time come and good times go.
I only wish the goodtimes would last a little longer.
I was thinking of 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.
Thinking of what your doing now
and when your coming back.

Close your eyes and then it's past;
