Gunslinger talk for being honest but not being bullied!  Scotty (guitar) and I (vocal) would trade licks in the middle which was always fun live…It seems like a rarity today.  This track was live-off-the-floor so is essentially a live recording.

Hey! What’s the matter
why are you running scared?
Do like my daddy told me,
you won’t get caught if you’re prepared
& He said, “Son, as you go through this life,
Son, take a little advice,
Always play fair, and always play clean,
But if you run into trouble,
let ‘em know what you mean

Shoot from the hip. You gotta shoot from the hip
Be a straight shooter but don’t get burned
Don’t wait ‘till your back is turned just shoot from the hip
You gotta shoot from the hip”

Hey! Life’s a gamble, why live it all in fear
Do like my Daddy told me,
and your worries will disappear.
& He said, “Son, as you go through this life,
Son, take a little advice,
Always play fair, and always play clean,
But if you run into trouble,
let ‘em know what you mean

Shoot from the hip, you gotta shoot from the hip
Good guys don’t finish last, if they aim straight
and they shoot fast
They shoot from the hip
Be a straight shooter but don’t get burned
Don’t wait ‘till your back is turned, just shoot from the hip
You gotta shoot from the hip”

Hey what’s the difference,
when your back’s to the wall
You gotta come out fighting,
gotta come out standing tall
And I say “Son, as you go through this life,
Son, take a little advice,
Always play fair, and always play clean,
But if you run into trouble,
let ‘em know what you mean.
Shoot from the hip”
