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 out to be I don't mind them switchin' sides And standin' up for things that they believe in When they're runnin' down our country, man They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me They'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 warning When you're runnin' down our 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 they're runnin' down our country, man They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me They'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 warning When you're runnin' down our country, Hoss You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me They'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 warning When you're runnin' down our 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
