The Fightin' Side Of Me Lyrics - 40 #1 Hits - Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin' bad 

About the way we have to live here in this country 

Harpin' on the wars we fight 

And gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be 

I don't mind 'em switchin' sides 

And standin' up for things that they believe in 

When they're runnin' down my country, man 

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

They'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 

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

I read about some squirrelly guy 

Who claims 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 an' honey 

But they preach about some other way of livin' 

When they're runnin' down our country, hoss 

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

They'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 

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 

When you're runnin' down our country, hoss 

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