INTRO:
( 1 4 ) ( 5 1 )
5
Down at the local watering hole,
( 4 1 )
the herd drinks, unaware
2
this lone she-wolf is on patrol,
27 5 57
hunting for love, and loaded for bear.
( 1 5 )
Had me a guy who'd treat me good;
( 5 1 )
who'd love me like he never could
( 4 1 )
quite get his fill of me or bed -
5
right up until we wed.
4
He took to drinking and wrecking the car,
1
he started thinking and acting like our
( 5 47 )
marriage license was nothing but
( 5 1 )
his own license to hunt.
yeah, he'd run around like he thunk
he had a license to hunt.
Caught him cheating, what'd I do?
Told him he and I were through,
got me a job on the factory floor
and threw him out my door.
I dragged him through a couple of courts.
I didn't get much, but got a divorce.
It ain't final for three months but,
I got a license to hunt.
BRIDGE:
5
Down at the local watering hole
( 4 1 )
the herd is tossing 'em back.
5
I'll spot some young buck, tasty and slow,
( 4 6m )
and split him off from the pack,
4
dance him 'round til he's hypnotized,
1
shine my headlights in his eyes.
2
When love's your quarry, all is fair -
27 5 57
I'm huntin' for love ... and loaded for bear.
I once believed I'd need a man
who'd want just me for who I am,
with an able mind and a loving heart
that aches when we're apart.
I'm wiser now; I've lowered my aim.
I've settled my sights on sweeter game.
I'm on the trail of what I want,
( 5 6m )
and I got a license to hunt, yeah,
( 5 1 )
I got a license to hunt.
