Everyone knows I'm the hard workin' peace lovin' type
I walk a thousand miles out of my way
Just to keep from a fight
Poke fun at the way that I talk
You can say what you want about me
But one slip of the tongue 'bout my God Or my mama
Or this flag that I wear on my shirt
You'll see a side of me man
That I don't think you wanna
Cause them there's fightin' words
I've swapped skin now and then in my youth
I was all for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
The less I wanna stand toe to toe
But before you go runnin' your mouth
That one slip of the tongue 'bout my God
Or this flag that I wear on my shirt
You'll see a side of me man
That I don't think you wanna
Cause them there's fightin' words
That ain't gonna get me worked up
Everytime when it comes to the things that I love
So one slip of the tongue 'bout my dog
Or this country that I proudly serve
You'll see a side of me man
That you damn sure don't wanna
Cause them there's fightin' words
Yeah, them's fightin' words
Ahh them's fightin' words, Hoss
Son, the first amendment protects you from the government
You can say whatever you want to out there
You come within reach of me
I'll exercise my right to give you a good ol' country ass whoopin'
