Karaoké My Way Better Man

You guessed it folks

And now the end is near

If you know the words sing but if you don't shut up

It'll sound crap

The final curtain

My friends

I'll say it clear and state my case on which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full

I've travelled each and every highway, come on

And more, everybody

Now I couldn't finish the show without mentionin' someone else here tonight

I share a lot of the same mannerisms as this person

People say I sing a bit like him too

He's made me who I am

All of the good things and a touch of the bad

And I wouldn't be where I am without him

We haven't performed together for twenty-five years

But I've wanted to every day since

Please welcome to the stage my dad

Thank you very much

Thank you very much

What do you say, shall we light 'em up

Tell it like it is dad

Regrets

I've had a few

Me too

But then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exception

I planned

I planned each charted course each charted course

Each careful step

Each careful step along the byway along the byway

I'm sorry Robert

I know dad

You always had it you know

Now look at ya

You're one of the gods

Yes there were times

Yes there were times

I'm sure you knew

I'm sure you knew

When I bit off

When I bit off more than I could chew more than I could chew

And through it all

And through it all when there was doubt when there was doubt

I ate it up

I ate it up and spit it out and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall

I faced it all and I stood tall

And did it my way

And did it my way

I've loved

I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill

My share of losin'

And now as tears subside

I find it all so amusin'

To think

I did all that and may I say not in a shy way

Oh no

Oh no not me

I did it my way

For what is a man

What has he got

If not himself then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels

Let the record show

I took the blows and did it my way

I did it my way
