Well, I've never been one for holding my tongue

I call out a lie when I see one

I don't do what I'm told, can't be bought or sold

A fool, I'm too old to be one

And 'round here I'm known for standing alone

And saying things that I won't take back

And I hear people say that I'm stuck in my ways

Like that's a bad thing to be good at

Like that's a bad thing to be good at

In a world full of liars and cheats

Maybe I missed a lot more than I swung at

But when I hit, I knocked out a few teeth

Yeah, I'm no good at doing what I should

I wear my don't-care like a badge

And I let freedom ring in these songs that I sing

And that ain't a bad thing to be good at

Now more than one time, I've been on the wrong side

Of the line that they drew just to cross me

I paid all kinds of hell for just being myself

I'm still counting all that it cost me

Yeah, and I felt the pull of the sheep and the wolves

And I ain't one to run with the pack

And I'm learning to pray at the end of the day

That ain't a bad thing to be good at

That ain't a bad thing to be good at

In a world full of liars and cheats

And maybe I missed a lot more than I swung at

But when I hit, I knocked out a few teeth

Yeah, I'm no good at doing what I should

I wear my don't-care like a badge

And I let freedom ring in these songs that I sing

And that ain't a bad thing to be good at

Yeah, I'm no good at doing what I should

I wear my don't-care like a badge

And I let freedom ring in these songs that I sing

And that ain't a bad thing to be good at

No, I let freedom ring in these songs that I sing

And that ain't a bad thing to be good at
