Yes  I had a woman love me, I  gave her what there was there of me
And  it was good as it could be
Then  I heard a wild world calling, I  saw a lone star falling
Caught  a song and set it free
 And many a long  and lonesome highway
 Lies before  us as we go
 And in the end  I'll do it my  way
 Look for me  where the four winds blow
 I believe in love and danger, I believe that truth is stranger
 I believe that fear is much too strong
 I believe the best will find me when I leave the rest behind me
 Out on the highway I'm on my own
And  every night's a new beginning, every  day the world keeps spinning
Sometimes  it's hard to stand up on  my own
To  the east the moon comes showing, to  the west there’s storm clouds growing
Though  by myself I'm not alone  no more
 My father on his deathbed told me there's really nothing left to hold me
 Though I was there he died alone
 It's gonna take a fast train leaving to shake my world of grieving
 Guess I'll go until it's gone
