When my son Matt was little, he and I watched the movie Old Yeller together over and over and over. He never got tired of it. It touched his heart because it has a moral to it. After Travis had to shoot Old Yeller, his Pa comforted him and encouraged him with some sage and wise advice... "Life's like that sometimes son. For no good reason on earth a man can figger, life'll just haul off and knock you flat, and slam you against the ground so hard it'll like all your insides is busted. But it's not all like that, most of its mighty fine... so, you gotta look at the good, 'cause if you dwell on the bad it makes it all bad... sometimes son, you just gotta go on bein' a man." We still watch it every now and then. It's a Classic! This song just kinda expresses how I look at life. And my reference to Merle Haggard and his song, "The Fightin' Side of Me" is exactly how I feel... I love our country and the blessings and freedoms we have because of those who paid the ultimate price for each of us to be free!
