Against the Grain |
| Folks call me a maverick |
| Guess I ain’t too diplomatic |
| I just never been the kind to go along |
| Just avoidin' confrontation |
| For the sake of conformation |
| And I’ll admit I tend to sing a different song |
| But sometimes you just can’t be afraid |
| To wear a different hat |
| If Columbus had complied |
| This old world might still be flat |
| Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained |
| Sometimes you’ve got to go against the grain |
| Well, I have been accused |
| Of makin' my own rules |
| There must be rebel blood |
| Just a-runnin' through my veins |
| But I ain’t no hypocrite |
| What you see is what you get |
| And that’s the only way I know |
| To play the game |
| Old Noah took much ridicule |
| For building his great ark |
| But after forty days and forty nights |
| He was lookin' pretty smart |
| Sometimes it’s best to brave the wind and rain |
| By havin' strength to go against the grain |
| Well, there’s more folks than a few |
| Who share my point of view |
| But they’re worried |
| If they’re gonna sink or swiim |
| They’d like to buck the system |
| But the deck is tacked against 'em |
| And they’re a little scared |
| To go out on a limb |
| But if you’re gonna leave your mark |
| You can’t follow like a bunch of sheep |
| You got to listen to your heart |
| Go bustin' in like old John Wayne |
| Sometimes you got to go against the grain |
| Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained |
| Sometimes you’ve got to go against the grain |
