Come inside, and see just how I'm livin'

Guaranteed it ain't living at all

There's a bottle on the counter in the kitchen

And a picture of her face upon my wall

Said she'd leave if I didn't quit the drinkin'

But I didn't take that serious at all

So she packed her bag

Said "there's nothing here worth fixing

Just another thing

Another drink won't solve"

[Chorus]

I wanted it my way

But it seems my love just

Wants to take the highway

If I wasn't so damn selfish, I bet she'd stay

Forgive me of the things that I had done

I wanted it my way

Burnt another bridge, oh what can I say?

I can't help but to cry about her everyday

And I know its no one's fault except my own

Boss man said "This ain't the place for you"

I done told you two damn times, now there's nothin' I can do

And I don't got a penny to my name

And the mortgage bill is three months overdue

You can find me out here

Sleepin' in my car

And I didn't pay the tab

So they kicked me out the bar

And I don't got a drink to fix the shakin'

This way of livin' didn't get me far

[Chorus]

I wanted it my way

Seems my boss just wants to take the highway

If I wasn't so damn selfish

I bet he'd let me stay

Forgive me of the thing that I had done

I wanted it my way

Well, I burnt another bridge, oh what can I say?

Can't help but to cry about it everyday

But I know its no one's fault except my own
