Straight Shootin' Woman Lyrics - Slow Flux - Steppenwolf

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
