I hear people talking bad about the way they
have to live here in this country
Harping on the wars we fight
and griping about the way things ought to be
I don't mind them switchin' sides
and standin' up for things
that all of them 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
If you don't love it, leave it,
let the song that I'm singing
When you're running down our country house,
I read about some squirrely guy
who claims that he just don't
And I wonder just how long
the rest of us can count on being free
They love our milk and honey,
but they preach about some
man, they're walkin' on the
Runnin' down a way of life
If you don't love it, leave it,
When you're running down our country house,
you're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down a way of life
If you don't love it, leave it,
let this song that I'm singing
When you're running down our country huts,
you're walking on the fighting side of me
