i'm usually wrong but seldom right

one thing's for sure i'm livin' my life

my way in my way

yeah

i've been known to drink a few

and have a smoke or two

but that's my way yeah my way

i burned down them saturday nights

but sunday morning i get back right

that's my way yeah my way

and it seems i've been running now

for such a long long time

and the nights i spent out on the way

for you on my mind

and one of these days i'm gonna settle down

look back and say

and i did it my way

hey son you know we can't play that song

this way too country this way too long

that's my way yeah my way

and these old dreams scarred my soul

but outlaws like lonesome roads

that's my way yeah my way

and it seems i've been runnin' now

for such a long long time

and the nights i spent out on the way

are hell on my mind

and one of these days i'm gonna settle down

look back and say

i took the dirt road over the high
