Lyrics
Story of Her Life © 2009 John Parker/Janice Hopkins
She’s got a suitcase full of dreams
And it’s bursting at the seams
‘Cause her future’s starting right now
True, just a girl of twenty-two
At a loss for what to do
But she knows she’ll make it someway, somehow
Chorus 1:
She don’t know much ‘bout where this thing they call real life is goin’
In such a rush, can’t hold her back and what’s the point of knowin’
Makin’ her way is what it’s all about
Day by day just livin’ each line
That writes the Story of Her Life
Now thirty-nine and not sure how
Nothing seemed to quite work out
Every page she turns leaves more regret
Time’s often anything but kind
Not sure what she thought she’d find
If it’s out there she ain’t seen it yet
She don’t know much ‘bout where this roller coaster life is goin’
She feels so rushed with all it’s ups and down, pushin’ and pullin’
Sometimes this world can leave her inside out
If she finds a way, says she just might
Rewrite the Story of Her Life
Now when she looks back on those dreams
She swears she wouldn’t change a thing
Every heartbreak’s just a stepping stone to what she really needed
Still time moves on and she will too
But she’s got nothing left to prove
She made it on her own but in the end you know that she still believes that….
Last Chorus:
She don’t know much ‘bout where this thing she called her life is goin’
She can’t be rushed to reach that end ‘cause what’s the point in knowin’
How it all turns out when that light goes out
In these final days relivin’ each line
That wrote the Story of Her Life
She’s got a suitcase full of dreams
And it’s bursting at the seams
‘Cause her future’s starting right now
True, just a girl of twenty-two
At a loss for what to do
But she knows she’ll make it someway, somehow
Chorus 1:
She don’t know much ‘bout where this thing they call real life is goin’
In such a rush, can’t hold her back and what’s the point of knowin’

That writes the Story of Her Life
Now thirty-nine and not sure how

Not sure what she thought she’d find
