I hear people talkin' bad about the way We have to live here in this country Harpin' on the wars we fight Gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides An' standin' up for things they believe in When they're runnin' down our country They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Hell, 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 I'm singin' be a warnin' When you're runnin' down our country 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' An' I wondered 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 man They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Hell, 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 our country You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Hell, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down a way of life Our fightin' men have fought, died to keep If you don't love it, leave it Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin' When you're runnin' down our country house You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
