I Did What I Wanted To

I TOOK A VOW WHEN I WAS YOUNG
TO LIVE MY LIFE MY WAY
I WOULD NEVER LET ANYONE OR
ANYTHING GET IN MY WAY
SOME DREAMS DIDN’T TURN OUT
THE WAY I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD
BUT SOME OTHER THINGS WORKED OUT
MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT THEY WOULD
I DIDN’T DO THE THINGS
EVERYBODY THOUGHT I OUGHTA DO
BUT I DID WHAT I WANTED TO
THE WAY I WANTED TO
NO ONE COULD STEAL MY THUNDER
I WOULDN’T LET THEM HAVE THE CHANCE
NO ONE COUL BREAK MY SPIRIT
WHEN THEY TRIED TO KNOCK ME OFF MY STANCE
THERE WERE A FEW I MUST ADMIT THAT TRIED
TO ROCK MY SANITY
BUT I NEVER GAVE ANYONE THE RIGHT
TO SHAKE MY SERENITY
(TO CHORUS)
I DON’T ALWAYS TAKE THE FREEWAY
I LIKE DRIVING THE BACK ROADS
I’VE BEEN KNOWN TO TAKE THE PATH
THAT NO ONE EVER GOES
IT WASN’’T ALWAYS EASY
IT WAS SOMETIMES TOUCH AND GO
BUT IF FRANK SINATRA DID IT HIS WAY
I KNEW THAT I COULD TOO
SO DON’T LET ANYBODY
TELL YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
THE ONLY THING THAT YOU CAN DO
IS DO WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU
DON’T LET THE WORLD DICTATE
WHAT SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT MOVE
ON THE WORDS OF THAT OLD PROVERB
TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE…. (TO CHORUS)
