I like people who tell the truth

I like it when songs are real, and singers tell the truth.
I like it when a man says if you give him your vote,
that he will look out for your interests, and he means it.
I like it when my waitress smiles at me,
and makes me feel like she is glad to see me.

I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.



I like it when my mechanic doesn't
try to screw me over when fixing my car.
I like it when the deejay shuts up
on the radio, and mostly plays songs.
I like it when someone believes in God,
and they are not putting a collection plate in front of my face.
I love a love story with a happy ending,
especially when it's between you and me.



I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.



I like it when my children come to see me,
and it's not a recognized holiday.
I like it when my dog wants to bark,
but he shuts up because I tell him to.
I like it when the mailman brings mail,
that is not going to cost me anything.
I like it when the van brings the man
selling ice cream. Ring a ding ding.


I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.



I like it when people talk about Revolution,
and they don't mean one that will be bloody.
I like it when politicians do things for the people,
though I know it's not their golden rule.
I like it when the guy or gal at the grocery store
smiles at me like I am somebody.


I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters, and
I like people who tell the truth.


I like it when I hold the door for you,
and I like it when you hold the door for me.
I like it when I hold my hand off the horn,
when I feel like laying on it because of you.
I like the idea of love, and I haven't quit wishing
that it will come true for you and me.
I like ice cream sundaes, made the old fashioned way,
like they were, when I was a kid.


I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like people who tell the truth.
I like straight shooters.
I like straight shooters.
I like people who tell the truth.

I like the way I feel right now,
writing this song down, and
I'm going to like the way that I feel
when you are listening to it.

I like straight shooters,
and I like people who tell the truth.
