We Did It Our Way - Lyrics - Rachel Proctor

We were way too young a couple of crazy kids They said it was a fairy-tale land we were livin' in And lookin' back you know we were pretty green Aren't you glad we were smart enough to be that naive Steppin' out on the limb Just think if we had listened to them 1st Chorus We'd never danced under the stars in Colorado Or took that drive across the Rio Grande We'd never laid eyes on that California sunset Or dipped our toes in that Monterey Sand There'd be no yesterday and baby we couldn't say HEY, HEY We did it our way HEY, HEY We did it our way Everybody Tried to tell us where to plant our seeds They just couldnt undertand why we had to spread our wings All we needed to pass life's little test Was a second-hand car and a place to lay our heads I thank God for you Baby, I know our aim was true 2nd Chorus We'd never walked the streets of Albuquerque Or took that trip anywhere bound Must've been fate forgettin' that road map We got lost and found this little town What a perfect place and we can sit back and say HEY, HEY We did it our way HEY, HEY We did it our way We were way too young a couple of crazy kids They said it was a fairy-tale land we were livin' in HEY, HEY We did it our way HEY, HEY We did it our way We did it our way We'd never danced under the stars in Colorado Or took that drive across the Rio Grande We'd never laid eyes on that California sunset Or dipped our toes in that Monterey Sand
