And every little step I take will be a step of faith

I'm goin' against the grain, yeah yeah
I'm goin' against the grain, yeah yeah


And there ain't nothing wrong with goin' against the grain
I don't need a plan this time
I'll take it by the day

I'll take it by the day

And every little step I take will be a step of faith
I'm goin' against the grain, yeah yeah
Goin' against the grain, yeah


I can try to write my story
Or I can watch it all unfold

Live within the lines to this town
Baby, bet you know I won't
