The Fightin' Side of Me Lyrics
I hear people talkin' bad
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harpin' on the wars we fight
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta beAn' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides
An' standin' up for things they believe in
When you're runnin' down my country, man
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of meYeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down the way of life
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keepIf you don't love it, leave it
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
You're runnin' down my country, man
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of meI read about some squirrelly guy
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'
An' I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on bein' freeThey
love our milk an' honey
But they preach about some other way of livin'
When you're runnin' down my country, hoss
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of meYeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down the way of life
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keepIf you don't love it, leave it
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
But you're runnin' down my country, man
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of meYeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down the way of life
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keepYeah if you don't love it, leave it
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
And you're runnin' down my country, man
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
