[00:00.00]The Fightin' Side Of Me (Live At The Philadelphia Civic Center/1970) - Merle Haggard & The Strangers
[00:13.02]I hear people talkin' bad
[00:15.13]About the way we have to live here in this country
[00:21.00]Harpin' on the wars we fight
[00:23.17]And gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be
[00:28.39]And I don't mind 'em switchin' sides
[00:30.77]And standin' up for things they believe in
[00:35.29]When they're runnin' down my country man
[00:38.24]They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[00:42.97]Yeah walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[00:48.37]Runnin' down the way of life
[00:50.55]Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep
[00:55.61]If you don't love it leave it
[00:57.98]Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
[01:02.98]If you're runnin' down my country man
[01:05.51]You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[01:20.12]I read about some squirrelly guy
[01:22.68]Who claims he just don't believe in fightin'
[01:27.61]And I wonder just how long
[01:30.32]The rest of us can count on bein' free
[01:34.96]They love our milk an' honey
[01:37.27]But they preach about some other way of livin'
[01:41.93]When they're runnin' down my country hoss
[01:44.76]They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[01:49.64]Yeah walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[01:54.84]Runnin' down the way of life
[01:57.13]Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep
[02:01.85]If you don't love it leave it
[02:04.17]Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
[02:09.38]If you're runnin' down my country man
[02:11.81]You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[02:17.08]Yeah walkin' on the fightin' side of me
[02:22.13]Runnin' down the way of life
[02:24.34]Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep
[02:29.24]If you don't love it leave it
[02:31.51]Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
[02:36.44]If you're runnin' down my country man
[02:39.10]You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me
