Текст песни The Fightin' Side of Me (Re-Recording) - Merle Haggard

I hear people talkin' bad about the way they have to
Live here in this country
Harpin' on the wars we fight, gripin' 'bout the way
Things ought to be
I don't mind them switchin' sides and standin' up for
Things they believe in
(But) When they're runnin' down our country, man, they're
Walkin' on the fightin' side of me
I read about some squirrely 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 love our milk and honey, but they preach about some
Other way of livin'
When they're runnin' down our country, man, they're
Walkin' on the fightin' side of me
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
Runnin' down a way of life our men have fought and died
To keep
If you don't love it, leave it, let this song that I'm
Singin' be a warning
When you're runnin' down our country (hoss/man) you're
Walkin' on the fightin' side of me
