The Fightin' Side Of Me lyrics

I hear people talkin' bad,

About the way they have to live here in this country

Harpin' on the wars we fight

And gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be

And I don't mind 'em switchin' sides

And standin' up for things they believe in

But when they're runnin' down our country

Man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Runnin' down a way of life

Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

If you don't love it, leave it

Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'

When you're runnin' down my country, Hoss

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

I read about some squirrelly guy

That claims that he just don't believe in fightin'

And I wonder just how long

The rest of us can count on bein' free

They love our milk and honey

But they preach about some other way of livin'

When they're runnin' down our country

Man, they're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Runnin' down the way of life

Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

If you don't love it, leave it

Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'

When you're runnin' down my country, Hoss

Man, you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Runnin' down the way of life

Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep

If you don't love it, leave it

Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'

When you're runnin' down my country, man

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
