I headed bush when just a lad Money made I never had to spend There I learnt that golden rule In that dinkum old bush school I remember when Back there in my younger days I started life through a foggy haze so blind Travelling down that one-way track Never ever turning back the time I did it my way I travelled down life's long highway Through the laughter and the tears Sadness through the years I did it my, my way Most jobs I had I don't regret Some in time I will forget for sure Some people I would like to clone Others mate you'd never own they're just a bore The ones who have stood by my side I raise my hat and say with pride so plain Just like a big old cob and coal Twisted up tight they won't let go again I did it my way I travelled down life's long highway Through the laughter and the tears Sadness through the years I did it my, my way I'd like these words on my headstone Cobbed in bushland near my home out there It tells a bit about my life Happy times and lots of strife to those who care Life's road has got so many bends Sometimes there is just dead ends again Pull over there and rest a while When you've walked that country mile you'll say I did it my way I travelled down life's long highway Through the laughter and the tears Sadness through the years I did it my, my way I did it my way I travelled down life's long highway Through the laughter and the tears Sadness through the years I did it my, my way
