Fightin' Side Of Me: Merle Haggard.

Written by Merle Haggard.
(?Tree Publishing Company.)
From "Songs I'll Always Sing", 1976, Capitol Records.

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way they have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things that 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 the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
