The Story of My Life

early 50's don't mean maybe here i come slap the baby hear me screaming now i'm breathing the proud parents really beaming mid december it is chilly named me mike instead of billy adolescence before you know it kind of shy don't you blow it moved away because of dad left behind friends i had teenage years finally settled florida from seattle culture shock plus the weather all i had sonic sweaters took no time skin to leather from the color alabaster here's the years i discovered full time friends part time lovers a few times things got drastic drank to much acted spastic laid around worked on fattening mom and dad were not laughing as they begged on their knees find a job so you can leave i joined in the military with no war not too scary found a girl we got married had some kids now it's scary lost my job lost my dime standing in unemployment lines found a job things are fine moving to the prime of life with the kids still at home things are moving right along from the left to the right that's the story of my life
