Bon Jovi - Story Of My Life

Yesterday’s a memory
Another page of history
You sell yourself on hopes and dreams
That leaves you feeling sideways
Tripping over my own feet
Trying to walk to my own beat
Another car out on the street
Trying to find the highway yeah
Are you going my way

This is the Story Of My Life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn’t black and white
And it’s anything but grey
I know that no I’m not alright
But I feel ok cause
Anything can, everything can happen
That’s the Story Of My Life

(guitar solo)

I gonna write the melody
That’s gonna make history
And when I paint my masterpiece
I swear I’ll show you first
There just ain’t a way to see
Who and why or what will be
Till now is then
It’s a mystery
It’s a blessing and a curse
Or something worse

This is the Story Of My Life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn’t black and white
And it’s anything but grey
I know that no I’m not alright
But I feel ok cause
Anything can, everything can
I been thinking and baby
You can help me write the Story Of My Life
What do you say?

(guitar solo)

This is the Story Of My Life
And I write it everyday
And I hope you're by my side
When I’m writing the last page

This is the Story Of My Life
And I write it everyday
I know it isn’t black and white
And it’s anything but grey
I know that no I’m not alright
But I feel ok cause
Anything can, everything can
I been thinking baby we can…
This is the Story Of My Life
The Story Of My Life
The Story Of My Life
This is the Story Of My Life
The Story Of My Life
This is the Story Of My Life

I love this song. It's a reflection on the collection of good and bad that make up a person's life. The lines "I know that no I’m not alright/But I feel ok" are especially telling - the narrator isn't particularly pleased about the direction his life has taken, but he's gonna roll with it anyway.

This song should've been a single.
