Haggard) 12 Merle Haggard #1 Hits (Album) Transcriber- Anita W. Cantor I hear people talkin' bad About the way we have to live here, in this country Harpin' on the wars we fight An' grippin' 'bout the way things oughta be An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides an' Standin' up for things they believe in When they're runnin' down my country, man They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down the way of life Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep If you don't love it, leave it Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin' If you're runnin' down my country man You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me I read about some squirrely guy Who claims, 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 an' honey But they preach about some other way, of livin' When they're runnin' down my country, hoss They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down our way of life Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep If you don't love it, leave it Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin' When you're runnin' down my country, man You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me Runnin' down our way of life Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep If you don't love it, leave it Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin' If you're runnin' down my country, man You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
