I was thinking about this, (beautiful song, btw) but I cannot see where his life had not worked out for him. He had a family, he had his own business at one time and he worked at a company for 17 yrs. WOW.
Life changes. Stuff happens, and while it may not be the stuff you dream of in childhood, it doesnt mean failure.
I have had a ton of crap happen over my life. I may not be the great artist I dreamed of becoming when I was 8. I never tried to be the director I thought I wanted to be. I am not wealthy, but I am better off than most. And I join most of the population in being those without enough savings to allow me to live a year without working. But.. I don't view that as my life not working out.
Having that family, that career, that consistant job history is a lot of good stuff.
I would wager he was happy, as I have been happy in my life.

MY WAY
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

I read his obituary and saw that life hadn’t worked out for him as he had hoped. He had had 4 offspring and one step child.. 2 grand-ums.
He had owned a business and then worked for a trucking company for 17 years. He had needed help from the local charity in the end. Seemed his life was just getting back on track when he keeled over.
