Fightin' Words

Alright

Everyone knows I'm the hard workin'
Peace loving type
I'd walk a thousand miles out of my way
Just to keep from a fight
Poke fun at the way that I talk
Or this hat that I wear
You can say what you want about me
See if I care

But one slip of the tongue
'Bout my God or my mama
Or this flag that I wear on my shirt
You'll see a side of me man
That I don't think you wanna
'Cause them there is fightin' words

Now don't get me wrong
I swapped skin now and then in my youth
I was all for an eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
Now the older I get
The less I want to stand toe to toe
But before you go running your mouth
I think you ought to know

That one slip of the tongue
'Bout my God or my mama
Or this flag that I wear on my shirt
You'll see a side of me, man
That I don't think you wanna
'Cause them there's fightin' words

Chevrolet or Ford, the south or the north
That ain't going to get me worked up
But I'll draw the line every time
When it comes to the things that I love

So one slip of the tongue
'Bout my dog or my woman
Or this country that I proudly served
You'll see a side of me, man
That you damn sure don't wanna
'Cause them there's fightin' words

Yeah, them fightin' words
Aw, them's fightin' words, hoss
