The Fightin' Side Of Me (Live) - Merle Haggard
I hear people talking bad
About the way we have
To live here in this country
Harping on the wars we fight
And griping about the way things oughta be
And I don't mind 'em switching sides
And standing up for things they believe in
When they're running down my country
They're walking on the fighting side of me
Yeah walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it leave it
Let this song
But I'm singing be a warning
When you're running down my country man
You walking on the fighting side of me
I read about some squirrelly guy
Who claims he just don't believe in fighting
And I wonder just how long
The rest of us can count on being free
They love our milk an' honey
But they preach about some other way of living
When they're running down my country hoss
They're walking on the fighting side of me
Yeah walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it leave it
Let this song I'm singing be a warning
When you're running down my country man
You're walking on the fighting side of me
Yeah walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
Yeah if you don't love it leave it
Let this song I'm singing be a warning
And you're running down my country man
You're walking on the fighting side of me
