The Fightin' Side Of Me

(专辑： Sings Merle Haggard - 2002)

I hear people talking bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harping on the wars we fight,
An' griping 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switching sides,
An' standing up for things they believe in.
When they're running down my country, man,
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.
If you're running down my country, man,
You're walking on the fighting side of me.

I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fighting.
An' 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.
If 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.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singing be a warning.
If you're running down my country, man,
You're walking on the fighting side of me.
