At 14, I lost my dad. It's true
At 15, I didn't know what to do
Well, at 16, I learned to drive
At 17, to stay alive

And I was a drummer in a band you've heard of
Isn't that the way it goes?

18, I think that's when we met
19, I wish I could forget
Well 20, I moved away
To say the least, I didn't stay

And I was a drummer in a band that you've heard of
And I was a drummer in a band that you've heard of
Isn't that the way it goes?

If I know you, you'll change your mind
You've been changing all the time

And I was a drummer in a band that you've heard of
And I was a drummer in a band that you've heard of
And I was a drummer in a band that just broke up

Isn't that the way it
Isn't that the way it
Isn't that the way it goes?
