I hear people talkin' bad,About the way they have to live here in this countryHarpin' on the wars we fightAnd gripin' 'bout the way things oughta beAnd I don't mind 'em switchin' sidesAnd standin' up for things they believe inBut when they're runnin' down our country, manThey're walkin' on the fightin' side of meThey're walkin' on the fightin' side of meRunnin' down a way of lifeOur fightin' men have fought and died to keepIf you don't love it, leave itLet this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'When you're runnin' down our country, hossYou're walkin' on the fightin' side of meI read about some squirrelly guyWho claims that he just don't believe in fightin'And I wonder just how longThe rest of us can count on bein' freeThey love our milk and honeyBut they preach about some other way of livin'But when they're runnin' down our country, manThey're walkin' on the fightin' side of meThey're walkin' on the fightin' side of meRunnin' down the way of lifeOur fightin' men have fought and died to keepIf you don't love it, leave itLet this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'When you're runnin' down our country, manYou're walkin' on the fightin' side of meYou're walkin' on the fightin' side of meRunnin' down the way of lifeOur fightin' men have fought and died to keepIf you don't love it, leave itLet this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'When you're runnin' down our country, hossYou're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
