The Fighting Side Of Me

Right here, ladies and gentlemen

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

Oh, I don't mind 'em switchin' sides
And standin' up for things they believe in
But when they're runnin' down my country
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

I said 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 my country
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

I read about some squirrelly 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 like our milk and honey
But they talk about a different way of livin'
But when they're runnin' down my country
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

I said walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down a way of life
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep
And if you don't love it, leave it
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'
When you're runnin' down my country
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

I said walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down the 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 m country
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me

Well, when you're runnin' down our country
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me, that's right
That goes out to our soldiers
God bless 'em
You guys are great!
