I'd walk a thousand miles out of my way
Just to keep from a fight
Oh, pun 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 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 in there's fighting 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 running your mouth
I thank you all to know
That 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 in there's fighting words
Chevrolet 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 I do



The things that I love
So one slip of the tongue
Bout my dog or my woman
Of this country that I proudly serve
You'll see a side of me, man
That you damn sure don't wanna
Cause in there's fighting words
Yeah, them fighting words
Yeah, them fighting words




Oh, them fighting words, oh
Oh, them fighting words, oh
Oh, them fighting words, oh
