My Way - The Liptones

When I was young

My mother said to me, son

You better get a hold on yourself

'Cause there are things expected from you

You must go to school

And then get a job

At the local factory

Think of your father, how proud he would be

But I will never be the way they want me to be

'Cause I will never see the things they want me to see

I do it my way

They try to watch my every step

But I take one step beside

I’m going further and further away

I’m going out for a ride

Oh mom, I know you’ve been weeping

Oh mom, I know you’ve been sad

But I will not regret my life when I get old

For the times I’ve never had
