In my fashion i have been a good man
I have loved and i have lost
Ever after i will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
There have been times, i have seen the reaper
In the bad times, and in the good
I have bent down, i have touched the ground
Saying prayers and touching wood
In my fashion, i have been a father
I have loved and been loved in return
From the ashes, i have kept the homefires
Burning after all was said and done
Now take a look at me
Do i look like the kind of guy
The kinda fool who went to school
And had to stand on a stool,
Because he couldn't come t' terms with a slide rule
Take a look around again
Is it any different now than it was then
In my fashion i have been a good man
I have loved and i have lost
And ever after i will be remembered
In my fashion, in my way
