My Way

I was out there in the open Like a tumbleweed blowing Flowing like a trickling stream Just waiting on the rain Couldn't get a dam to break To get me rolling again But a perfect storm White lightning in the wind A flood came rushing in All that time wasted in a wasteland Was it part of the plan To make me the man I am? Looking back, it all makes perfect sense Sunshine outta misery Yesterday's memories I'm not saying we're all the same But I had to get lost to find my way Like a burned out set of matches I was run down and ragged Unravelling at the seams Somewhere in the distance Like a castaway, drifting I found my kind of free And all that time wasted in a wasteland Was it part of the plan To make me the man I am? Looking back, it all makes perfect sense Sunshine outta misery Yesterday's memories I'm not saying we're all the same But I had to get lost to find my way There's no regret in the long haul Guess I had it right after all 'Cause all that time wasted in a wasteland It was part of the plan To make me the man I am Looking back, it all makes perfect sense Sunshine outta misery Yesterday's memories I'm not saying we're all the same But I had to get lost to find my way I'm not saying we're all the same But I had to get lost to find my way
