Green Day Lyrics

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Lyrics
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to do.

So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I hope you had the time of your life.
