Our Way
Gracie and Rachel Lyrics

We were way too young a couple of crazy kids
We were inexperienced and impulsive when we started out together.

They said it was a fairy-tale land we were livin' in
People thought our aspirations were fanciful and unrealistic.

And lookin' back you know we were pretty green
In hindsight, we were naive and lacking in knowledge.

Aren't you glad we were smart enough to be that naive
Our youthful foolishness actually helped us take risks and make bold choices.

Steppin' out on the limb
We ventured into the unknown, taking a leap of faith.

Just think if we had listened to them
If we had followed the advice of others, we would have missed out on important experiences.

We'd never danced under the stars in Colorado
We would have missed the chance to have a magical, romantic moment in a beautiful location.

Or took that drive across the Rio Grande
If we had played it safe, we never would have had the adventure of exploring new places.

We'd never laid eyes on that California sunset
If we had listened to skeptics, we wouldn't have seen some of the natural wonders of the world.

Or dipped our toes in that Monterey Sand
We would have missed out on small, but meaningful experiences that make life worth living.

There'd be no yesterday and baby we couldn't say
Without taking the risks we did, we wouldn't have the memories we cherish now.

HEY, HEY We did it our way
We made our own choices and lived life on our terms.

Everybody tried to tell us where to plant our seeds
People had their own ideas about what we should do, but we had our own vision.

They just couldn't understand why we had to spread our wings
Others didn't comprehend our need for freedom and independence.

All we needed to pass life's little test
We didn't need much to be happy and fulfilled.

Was a second-hand car and a place to lay our heads
We were content with the simple things in life.

I thank God for you
I'm grateful for the person who shared my journey and helped make everything worthwhile.

Baby, I know our aim was true
We were honest and sincere in our intentions, and that's what made all the difference.

We'd never walked the streets of Albuquerque
If we had played it safe, we would have missed out on unique experiences that could never be replicated.

Or took that trip anywhere bound
We wouldn't have had the freedom to go wherever we wanted, whenever we wanted.

Must've been fate forgettin' that road map
Making mistakes and getting lost was part of the journey, and sometimes led to unexpected discoveries.

We got lost and found this little town
Even setbacks and detours turned out to bring positive outcomes.

What a perfect place and we can sit back and say
We ended up in a beautiful location that was a great fit for us.

HEY, HEY We did it our way
All the choices we made were our own, and we have no regrets.

We did it our way
Our journey was unique and personalized, and that's what made it so special.

We'd never danced under the stars in Colorado
We would have missed the chance to have a magical, romantic moment in a beautiful location.

Or took that drive across the Rio Grande
If we had played it safe, we never would have had the adventure of exploring new places.

We'd never laid eyes on that California sunset
If we had listened to skeptics, we wouldn't have seen some of the natural wonders of the world.

Or dipped our toes in that Monterey Sand
We would have missed out on small, but meaningful experiences that make life worth living.

We were way too young a couple of crazy kids
We were inexperienced and impulsive when we started out together.

They said it was a fairy-tale land we were livin' in
People thought our aspirations were fanciful and unrealistic.

HEY, HEY We did it our way
All the choices we made were our own, and we have no regrets.

ey, hey
Reminding us to celebrate and be proud of our independent, non-conformist spirit.

HEY, HEY We did it our way
All the choices we made were our own, and we have no regrets.
