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
