Against The Grain — текст песни (GARTH BROOKS)

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
