Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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.

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 fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

If you don't love it, leave it.
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'.

When you're runnin' down our country, hoss,
you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

I read about some squirley 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'.

And 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 fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

If you don't love it, leave it.
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'.

When you're runnin' down our country, man,
you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me,
runnin' down a way of life
our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.

If you don't love it, leave it.
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'.

When you're runnin' down our country, hoss,
you're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
