Straight Shootin` Woman Lyrics

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
