We were way too young a couple of crazy kids   They said it was a fairy-tale land we were livin' in   Lookin' back you know we were pretty green   But 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      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 couldn't understand 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      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   Oh, 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
