| Song | Goin' Against The Grain |
| Artist | Oak Ridge Boys |
| Album | The Journey |
| 作词 : Bouton, Cordle, Jackson | |
| 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 swim | |
| 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 |
