I get to the party, but I'm too late
And I got stood up on my very first date
I listen to country and everybody goes rock
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops

It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
But here I go again

[Chorus]
And I say, "Hey, that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no, I'm overdrawn,
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me? I don't know what to think,
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Seems to be the story of my life

I pick a slot machine and lose it all again
But when I walk away, someone else always wins
She finally calls me, I forget my phone
And when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed

It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends up the same
And here I go again

[Chorus]

Just when it seems like it's turnin' around for me
There's always something that ends up happening
I found my car, but I can't find my keys

I get to the party a little too late
And once again the music starts to play

[Chorus]

The story of my life
The story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
