This is a good song...but very frustrating to tab. Ok in "Straight on", Steve Fossen
plays a lot of variations in the bass line so I just wrote out what it sounded like to me.
It's close enough to play anyway, no one would notice the difference if there's a few
notes off. :) Having said that, it's not perfect but it took me forever to figure out.
Please rate this tab.

| Deciding to stop being the object of love (the one that waits to get chosen, the wallflower) and to be the subject. SOmething happened... somewhere the speaker changed/ was changed/ had a watershed moment & realized that s/he could/ needed to/ wanted to have agency in relationships. It might not even be about "going after" someone, but about making a decision to be a part -OF- the relationship rather than just being -IN- it... | |

| This song is about being addicted to gambling, card games. The mention of "straight" being a combination of cards. | |
