Lyrics:

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
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 one I'll have to pay
I'll take the good and bear the bad
Until my dyin' day
I wouldn't have it any other way
I wouldn't have it any other way

I could take a beaten path
Every time trouble starts
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 one 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
