HASN'T BEEN ALL THAT BAD

Looking back as far as possible at life
Over the life I've known so far
I guess I'd have to say did it my way
Been  mostly enjoyable whiskey in a jar

Always did things if able my own way
Ecept an ex or or two so to speak
Worked every day hard come what may
Always stood tall upon both of my feet

Mostly always was my own boss contracts
Made more than most gave way more away
But family have such selective short memories
The jokes on them I'm doing fine today

Done things no other would ever believe
Knew people many pay to go and see
A lot of them have since moved on
And are sailing a far off distant sea

Made love to women famous stars over time
Vowed to not repeat a name and have not
Seen a few in passing over time in life
Biggest smiles good friends memories a lot



My life to ths day never dull in any way
I've seen blokes I knew my age and hell
They all look way older than I do its true
Lived their life their way rang their own bell

Even now I have all a man could ask for
When we go we all go just as we came
And I in all honesty I have peace of mind
Come sunshime storms snow or rain

Their biggest woe in life has been money
Well I've had more than my very share
I helped more than any'll give me credit
Their money a rope around the neck to bare

They lived life as if an endless football game
Never thinking one day just if lucky memory
Mght end up with a name on a headstone
Many seeing it wonder who he once used to be

My life has been as good as it gets I feel
Wrote it all in poetry and song for years
I'll die one day up the way smiling my way
Been there done that no regrets no tears
