My Way
The Knights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Uh-huh
Woah
Yeah
My way
Yeah
I’ve been keeping it My Way
Everyday
Driving on the speed highway
While I fly away
Don’t ask about the Friday
Cause I'm far away
This going to be a good day
Cause I ain’t gonna stay
I’ve been keeping it My Way
Everyday
Driving on the speed highway
While I fly away
Don’t ask about the Friday
Cause I'm far away
This going to be a good day
Cause I ain’t gonna stay, Yeah
Never thought I would be banking
Rolling up these stacks
Slowly climbing the ranking yeah
I know they all don’t get it
Maybe just a bit
They all just gonna say shit
I still ain’t gonna quit, Ah
Cause I’ve been getting all these checks like a God son
Praying to the lord for my fam to not be on the run
I said that there’s only gonna be one
So it’s only gonna be one
If you don’t agree
Then you ain’t gonna get none
These chicks don’t know what they messing with
Actin tough
Smoking weed
It just feels so embarrassing
This is my way to the top
I don’t need you fucking here
Get out my fucking face
Before I’ll loose it my dear
Woah
Uh-huh
My Way
I’ve been keeping it My Way
Everyday
Driving on the speed highway
While I fly away
Don’t ask about the Friday
Cause I'm far away
This going to be a good day
Cause I ain’t gonna stay
I’ve been keeping it My Way
Everyday
Driving on the speed highway
While I fly away
Don’t ask about the Friday
Cause I'm far away




This going to be a good day
Cause I ain’t gonna stay, Yeah

“Aye, he lives…he is very well. He wanted you to know…he changed his stars after all.”

That was enough to put a man’s soul at ease; knowing that his son had found a life worth living.

…and then he dared to ask the question that only his son would know; if he “followed his feet”, and found his way back home.

…and we would be blessed by the most profound scene of pride & love that can be expressed in cinema, by a father to a son.

A dream, requited.

I love his reaction to the promise of news of his son. His hands dropping the net. His blind eyes lighting up. His voice. Man. Gets me every time.

Jim crown

Yes perfect is small word to state the acts of the actors duo

Kitty Grimm

I love how Will doesn't even have to tell his father that he's his son. He knows. Just by being near him, he knows and I am an emotional wreck!

Mano Mendoza

Mark Rober

I agree, love it so much

erbgorre

he knows by the phrases that hes using. about changing his stars and following his feet. those are some of the exact last things he said to his son when they parted ways and so he figures no one else but his son would know or use them in this moment. so he kinda did tell him, just in a more personal way.

Ryan S

He knew soon he said stars he knew it was his son

Jay Pritchett

He quoted his father, so that’s how he knew that was him.

In mere seconds, this man went from looking like a pitiful bum to someone worthy of envy. The actor did a marvelous job of expressing the love, pride, and relief of father through facial expressions alone. Comes off as very genuine and feels real.

Ferruccio Guicciardi

1:25 "He changed his stars after all." - Always cry on that line ! What an amazing movie ! Fathers and sons should watch it together !
