Fightin' Words Lyrics
Everyone knows I'm the hard-workin' peace-lovin' type
I'd walk a thousand miles out of my way just to keep from a fight
Poke fun at the way that I talk or this hat that I wear
You can say what you want about me, see if I care
But one slip of the tongue 'bout my God or my momma
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
Now don't get me wrong I swapped skin now and then in my youth
I was all for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Now the older I get the less I wanna stand toe to toe
But before you go runnin' your mouth I think you oughtta know
But one slip of the tongue 'bout my God or my momma
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
Cheverolet or Ford
The South or the North
That ain't gonna get me worked up
But I'll draw the line every time
When it comes to the things that I love
So one slip of the tongue 'bout my dog or my woman
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
Aww them's fightin' words hoss
Spoken: Uh, excuse me? First ammendment?
Son, the first ammendment protects you from the gov'ment
Not from me. Yeah, you can say whatever you want to out there,
but you come within reach o' me, I'll excersise my right to
give you a good ole country ass woopin right there, by God...
I'd walk a thousand miles out of my way just to keep from a fight
Poke fun at the way that I talk or this hat that I wear
You can say what you want about me, see if I care
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 was all for an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Now the older I get the less I wanna stand toe to toe
But before you go runnin' your mouth I think you oughtta know
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
The South or the North
That ain't gonna get me worked up
But I'll draw the line every time
When it comes to the things that I love
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
Aww them's fightin' words hoss
Son, the first ammendment protects you from the gov'ment
Not from me. Yeah, you can say whatever you want to out there,
but you come within reach o' me, I'll excersise my right to
give you a good ole country ass woopin right there, by God...

No ones commented on this?? Have to say that that last little bit " Uh, excuse me? First ammendment? Son, the first ammendment protects you from the gov'ment, Not from me. Yeah, you can say whatever you want to out there,but you come within reach o' me, I'll excersise my right to give you a good ole country ass woopin right there" is one of my favorite lines ever.
also, anyone notice that this song and "Whoop a Man's Ass" are very similar?
