| | | Artist: | Garth Brooks |

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
