(aaron tippin/butch curry) 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, 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 Oh, i wouldn't have it any other way I could have taken 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, 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 Oh, i wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way
