Steppenwolf - Straight Shootin' Woman lyrics

Words and music by Jerry Edmonton I was feelin' so bad 'bout my best friend I could swear the sky was fallin' He had them put-down blues from wond'rin 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 al 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) You travelin' gun alone. Wo, got me 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 it 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 © 1974 Black Leather Music, Inc.
