Verse 1:
I was born in a small town, heart full of dreams
Where the river runs slow and the sky’s always clean
But I never could follow those old country ways
Had to break free, couldn’t let life stay the same
Pre-Chorus:
I picked up my boots, and I left that road
Chasing a life that’s mine to own
Now I’m standing here, with no turning back
Against the grain, but I’m on the right track
Chorus:
I’m going against the grain, I don’t fit the mold
I’d rather take the long way and walk the road untold
I’ve got fire in my soul, and a heart full of pride
I’ll keep moving forward, no matter the ride
I’m going against the grain, I’m gonna fly free
A wild heart that can’t be tamed, that’s just me
Verse 2:
They say I’m a rebel, they say I’m a fool
But I’m living life by my own set of rules
I’ll raise my glass to the ones who stay true
But I’m chasing something bigger, yeah, something new
Pre-Chorus:
I’m not afraid to lose it all
I’ve learned to stand, no matter how far I fall
This road is mine, and it’s calling my name
I’ll take the heat, but I’ll never be the same
Chorus:
I’m going against the grain, I don’t fit the mold
I’d rather take the long way and walk the road untold
I’ve got fire in my soul, and a heart full of pride
I’ll keep moving forward, no matter the ride
I’m going against the grain, I’m gonna fly free
A wild heart that can’t be tamed, that’s just me
Bridge:
Through the highs and the lows, I’ll keep standing tall
I’m a little bit broken, but I’ve learned to crawl
Now I’m running, chasing after my name
And I’ll keep going against the grain
Chorus:
I’m going against the grain, I don’t fit the mold
I’d rather take the long way and walk the road untold
I’ve got fire in my soul, and a heart full of pride
I’ll keep moving forward, no matter the ride
I’m going against the grain, I’m gonna fly free
A wild heart that can’t be tamed, that’s just me
Outro:
Yeah, I’m going against the grain, yeah, I’m going against the grain
I’ll make my mark, no matter the pain
I’m going against the grain, that’s just me.
