Текст песни The Fighting Side of Me - Merle Haggard

I hear people talking bad about the way
We have to live here in this country
Harping on the wars we fight, griping 'bout the way things ought to be
And I don't mind them switching sides and
Standing up for things they believe in
But when they're running down our country
They're walking on the fighting side of me

They're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down a way of life our fighting
Men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it, let
This song that I'm singing be a warning
When you're running down our country
You're walking on the fighting side of me

I read about some squirrely guy who claimed
That he just don't believe in fighting
And I wondered just how long the rest of us can count on being free
They love our milk and honey but they
Preach about some other way of living
And when they're running down our country, man
They're walking on the fighting side of me

They're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down a way of life our fighting
Men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it, let
This song that I'm singing be a warning
When you're running down our country
You're walking on the fighting side of me

They're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down a way of life our fighting
Men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it, leave it, let
This song that I'm singing be a warning
When you're running down our country, hoss
You're walking on the fighting side of me
