    Default Fightin' Side Of Me - Merle Haggard

    My job has me working out in the Texas sun, and my neck is kinda red this morning…

    (Heard this on 92.5 The Outlaw this morning)

    Fightin' Side Of Me: Merle Haggard.

    Written by Merle Haggard.

    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.
    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 squirrely guy,
    Who claims, that he just don't believe in fightin'.
    An' I wonder just how long,
    The rest of us can count on bein' free.
    They love our milk an' honey,
    But they preach about some other way of livin'.
    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.
    If you don't love it, leave it:
    Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin'.
    When you're runnin' down my 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 my country, hoss,
    You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

    Great song and here is a great cideo too. I have several copies on different CDs of this song by Merle.

    Beetle - Give me liberty or give me something to aim at.


    A monster lies in wait for me
    A stew of pain and misery
    But feircer still in life and limb
    the me that lays in wait for him

    Well damn.

    He went from "stomp a hippie" to "I love Hillary".

    Guess I'll just blame it on senility or something.
