I've walked the straight
and narrow
And I've worn a rebel's brand
Sometimes I've had to go
without for bein' my own man
I've rallied to the cause
When I knew the cause
was right
Yes I've cut against the grain
But I've kept my peace of mind
And I wouldn't have it
any other way
If there's a price for bein' me
Well that's what I'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear
the bad until my dyin' day
And I wouldn't have it
any other way
I wouldn't have it
any other way
I can take the beaten path
Every time the trouble starts
But I'd rather take a beatin'
than to ever cross my heart
Stickin' to my guns
Can't be sold or bought
Holdin' to my honor
no matter what the cost
And I wouldn't have it
any other way
If there's a price for bein' me
Well that's what I'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear
the bad until my dyin' day
And I wouldn't have it
any other way
I wouldn't have it
any other way
I'll take the good and bear
the bad until my dyin' day
And I wouldn't have it
any other way
I wouldn't have it
any other way
No I wouldn't have it
any other way
