[Intro]
A7 D
[Verse 1]
D A7 D A7
I hear people talking bad about the way they have to live here in this country
A7 D
Running down the wars we fight, griping about the way things oughta be
A7 D A7
I don't mind 'em switching sides and standing up for things that they believe in
A7 D
When you're running down my country, man, you're walking on the fighting side of me
[Chorus]
D A7
You're walking on the fighting side of me
A7 D
Running down a way of life our fighting men have fought and died to keep
D
If you don't love it, leave it
D7 G
Let this song that I'm singing be a warning
A7 D
When you're running down my country, hoss, you're walking on the fighting side of me

D A7 D A7
I read about some squirrelly guy who claims that he just don't believe in fighting
A7 D
And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on being free
D A7 D A7
They love our milk and honey, but they preach about some other way of living
A7 D
When you're running down my country, you're walking on the fighting side of me

You're walking on the fighting side of me
