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
