George Jones - The Fightin' Side of Me lyrics

(Merle Haggard) (Walking on the fightin' side of me) I hear people talkin' bad About the way they have to live here in this country; Harpin' on the wars we fight An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be I don't mind 'em switchin' sides An' standin' up for things that they believe in But, When they're runnin' down our country, man They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Their, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down a way of life Our fightin' men have fought and tried to keep Well, If you don't love it, leave it: Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin' And when you're runnin' down our country, hoss You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me --- Instrumental --- I read about some squirrely guy Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin' An' I wonder 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' And when they're runnin' down our country, man They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Aww, They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down the way of life Our fightin' men have fought and tried to keep Well, If you don't love it, leave it: Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin' And when you're runnin' down our country, hoss You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Yes, when you runnin' down our country, hoss You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
