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
