Sinner's Heart
Grimy delta blues, raw slide guitar and rattling suitcase kick, Female vocals: ragged, smoky, right on the edge of breaking, Verse stays sparse with moaning bends and foot-stomp rhythm; chorus swells with call-and-response backing hums and claps, Roomy, live-take mix—air, creaks, and chair squeaks left in, delta blues, raw
[Verse 1] Ashtray on the Bible Lipstick stains on my last clean glass Cross on a nail by the doorway Watchin’ me stumble past [Chorus] I got a sinner's heart Baby Beat-up Busted Black and blue I drag it down this dusty road But it still crawls back to you Yeah This sinner's heart Honey Keeps lyin’ like it’s tellin’ the truth I try to drown it in that bottle But it keeps prayin’ over you [Verse 2] Sunday dress hangin’ crooked Smells like smoke and cheap perfume Choir’s singin’ down on Main Street I’m pourin’ gin in my coffee spoon [Chorus] [Bridge] I said I'd quit by the morning I said I'd change with the tide But the devil knows my doorway Keeps his boots by my bedside [Chorus]
