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
