I've walked the straight and narrow and I've worn a rebel's brand
Sometimes I've had to go without for being 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 being me
Well, that's what I'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear the bad
Until my dying day
And I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way
I can take the beat
I can take the beating
Every time the trouble starts
But I'd rather take the beating
Than to ever cross my heart
Sticking to my guns
Can't be sold or bought
Holding to my honor
No matter what the cost
And I wouldn't have it any other way
If there's a price for being me
That's what I'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear the bad
Until my dying 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 dying 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
I wouldn't have it any other way
