And now the end is nearSo I face the final curtainMy friends, I'll say it clearAnd state my caseOf which I am certainI've lived a life that's fullI've traveled each and every highwayAnd more, much more than thisI've lived a life that's fullRegrets, I've had a fewBut then again, too few to mentionI did what I had to doSaw it throughWith a tax exemptionI've climbed each chartered courseEach couple steps along the bywayAnd more, much more than thisGuess there were timesI'm sure you knewWhen I'd been thereI'd had it allMore than I could chewBut through it allWhen there was doubtI ate it upAnd spit it outThe record showedI took the blowsAnd did it my wayI've loved it allI've laughed and criedShed my tearsAnd my sheriff booed meAnd now as tears subsideI find it all so confusingTo think I did all thatAnd may I sayNot in a shy wayNot in a shy wayOh noOh no, not meOh no, not meFor what is a manWhat has he gotIf not himselfThen he has notTo show the worldWhat a storm he yieldsAnd not the wordsOf one who kneelsThe record showsI took the blowsAnd did it my wayThe record showsI took the blowsAnd did itMy wayMy wayMy wayMy wayMy way
