"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" By Green Day


Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
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
For most of the ‘90s, Green Day set the standard for alternative music with the
songs “Basket Case,” “When I Come Around,” and “Longview” from their hit
album Dookie.

The rock band went from being alternative to the singers of everyone's graduation
song for a decade. It was something unpredictable, but in the end, “Good
Riddance” was actually a song about lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong’s ex. “It’s
about an ex-girlfriend who had moved to Ecuador,” the singer told Guitar World,
according to Louder Sound. “In the song, I tried to be level-headed about her
leaving, even though I was completely pissed off. So I named it ‘Good Riddance’
just to express my anger.”
