Best Years of My Life Lyrics

I picked a good day for a recreational Percocet
I've got an itch to just get high
I'm in the middle of the worst of it
These are the best years of my life

I've got the hankering for intellectual emptiness
I've got the need to ease my mind
I watched some reruns on the TV set
These are the best years of my life

I was lookin' forward to
Stayin' here forever 'cause you asked me to
Didn't think that I could do better
So I settled down in this ten-cent town
It's about to break me

I'm gonna mix a drink and try to drown this worthlessness
Call Mom and tell her I'm alright
Well, he don't love me but he ain't gone yet
These are the best years of my life

Yeah, I was lookin' forward to
Stayin' here forever 'cause you asked me to
Didn't think that I could do better
So I settled down in this ten-cent town
It's about to break me

I picked a good day for a recreational Percocet
I've got an itch to just get high
I'm in the middle of the worst of it
These are the best years of my life
These are the best years of my life
These are the best years of my life

I picked a good day for a recreational Percocet
I've got an itch to just get high
I'm in the middle of the worst of it
These are the best years of my life

I've got the hankering for intellectual emptiness
I've got the need to ease my mind
I watched some reruns on the TV set
These are the best years of my life

I was lookin' forward to
Stayin' here forever 'cause you asked me to
Didn't think that I could do better 
So I settled down in this ten-cent town
It's about to break me

I'm gonna mix a drink and try to drown this worthlessness
Call Mom and tell her I'm alright
Well, he don't love me but he ain't gone yet
These are the best years of my life

Yeah, I was lookin' forward to
Stayin' here forever 'cause you asked me to
Didn't think that I could do better 
So I settled down in this ten-cent town
It's about to break me

I picked a good day for a recreational Percocet
I've got an itch to just get high
I'm in the middle of the worst of it
These are the best years of my life
These are the best years of my life
These are the best years of my life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
