Red Shahan
White Knuckle Heart
[Verse 1]
She rolled out the window like a rolling stone
Pink lace panty-wasted, give the dog a bone
She hit the remuda like a feather gone bad
With a white-knuckle heart and blood on her hands

[Chorus]
Ain't nothin’ gonna break her or tear her apart
She's got a black leather bible and a white-knuckle heart

[Verse 2]
Fear of [?] stumble on the scene
Fear of the [?] that smells of Mesquite
Her hope is in [?] broken fire alarm
Hope is in the gas can under her arm

[Chorus]
Ain't nothin’ gonna break her or tear her apart
She's got a black leather bible and a white-knuckle heart

[Verse 3]
There's a ball peen hammer and a carpet stain
Sulfer of a match, spark and a flame
The hardwood, it groans as it heats up the sky
The house is on fire and the devil's inside

[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' gonna break her or tear her apart
She's got a black leather bible and a white-knuckle heart

[Bridge]
Oh it don't matter now that the coop’s been flown
She’s halfway to Wichita, ain't never goin’ home

[Chorus]
Ain't nothin' gonna break her or tear her apart
She's got a black leather bible and a white-knuckle heart

[Outro]
White knuckle heart
