Steppenwolf Straight Shootin' Woman Lyrics

I was feelin' so bad about my best friend
I could swear the sky was fallin'
He had them put-down blues from wonderin'
Who his old lady was callin'

I said, "Keep your life and drown your sorrow
And survive the fire that burns you
If you just slow down and cool your temper
You might get off on what I'll tell ya"

I got me a straight shootin' woman
She's right on all the time
But all my friends, they got shot down
Women shot them from behind

Now, those Hollywood women
They pack a pistol 'tween their toes
And when you've got your back turned 'round
They go and shoot the man next door

So I believe, I believe
I believe I'll keep my lovin' at home
I believe, I believe
I believe I'll keep my lovin' at home

Now, if you want
(Straight shooter)
To keep
(Straight shooter)
You better leave
(Straight shooter)
Your travelin' gun alone

Yeah, if you want
(Straight shooter)
To keep (Straight shooter)
You better leave
(Straight shooter)
Your travelin' gun alone

So I believe, I believe
I believe I'll keep my lovin' at home
I believe, I believe
I believe I'll keep my lovin' at home

Now, if you want
(Straight shooter)
To keep
(Straight shooter)
You better leave
(Straight shooter)
Your travelin' gun alone

Yeah, if you want
(Straight shooter)
To keep
(Straight shooter)
You better leave
(Straight shooter)
You travelin' gun alone

Oh, I got a straight shootin' woman
She's right on all the time
Got me a straight shootin' woman
She's right on all the time

She keeps her bed turned down with clean sheets on
And I can jump in at any ol' time
She keeps her cylinder greased and loaded
Just to ease my troubled mind
She's all mine, she's on my mind, take her down

She's on my mind
She's on my mind
She's on my mind
She's on my mind
