Song title: Garth Brooks - Against The Grain

Edit By: 216.73.217.109

Folks call me a maverick
Guess I aint too diplomatic
I just never been the kind to go along
Just avoidin confrontation
For the sake of conformation
And Ill admit I tend to sing a different song
But sometimes you just cant be afraid
To wear a different hat
If columbus had complied
This old world might still be flat
Nothin ventured, nothin gained
Sometimes youve 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 aint no hypocrite
What you see is what you get
And thats 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 its best to brave the wind and rain
By havin strength to go against the grain

Well, theres more folks than a few
Who share my point of view
But theyre worried
If theyre gonna sink or swim
Theyd like to buck the system
But the deck is tacked against em
And theyre a little scared
To go out on a limb
But if youre gonna make a difference,
If youre gonna leave your mark.
You cant 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 youve got to go against the grain
