Fightin’ Side Of Me - Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin' bad about the way they have to live here in this country

Runnin' down the wars we fight gripin' about the way things oughta be I don't mind 'em switchin' sides and standin' up for things that they believe in When you're runnin' down my country man you'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 squirrely guy who 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 you’re runnin' down my country you’re walkin' on the fightin' side of me You’re walkin' on the fightin' side of me…

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