Written by Merle Haggard
E I hear people talk bad about the way A we have to live here in this country B7 Harpin on the wars we fight E And grippin bout the way things otta be I don't mind them switchin sides A And standin up for things they believe in B7 When there runnin down our country man E There walkin on the fightin side of meE I read some squirrly guy who claims A He just don't believe in fightin B7 And I wonder just how long E The rest of us can count on being free They love our milk and honey A But they preach about some other way of livin B7 When there runnin down my country horse there E Walkin on the fightin side of me Sing ChorusE B7 Walkin on the fightin side of me Runnin down the way of life our E Fightin men have fought and died to keep If you don't love it leave it A Let this song I'm singin be a warnin B7 If your runnin down my country man E Your walkin on the fightin side of me
