lyrics

Verse 1
Heading to the station suitcase in my hand
Might see a teardrop on my cheek but don’t misunderstand
I saved up all my money working overtime
My heads full of dreams and I believe
Everything’s gonna be just fine
It’s not a wedding ring or a 4x4 I want out on my drive
A front porch swing and 2.4 kids just aren’t my style

Chorus
I want extra ordinary, not Tom Dick or harry
Not plain Jane or Mary I wanna do it my own way, I want
Extraordinary, life topped off with extra cherries
No limits necessary
I wanna do it my own way

Verse 2
I wouldn’t write a letter, wouldn’t even phone
Send a text or message friends to say that I had gone
When they get up in the morning
And their day starts to unfurl
Grab a Starbucks as they ride the bus to their ordinary world
I’ve never been a fan of the family man with all our photos on the wall
Disneyland wasn’t in my plans, that’s not me at all

Middle
I close the door of my 4 x 4 and I leave the day behind
I turn the key and it’s plain to see
What’s right before my eyes

I’ve got extraordinary Tom Dick and Harry
Beautiful Jane and Mary
And I did it my own way
Extraordinary
Life’s topped off with extra cherries
No limits necessary and I did it my own way
