Lyrics
She reads Tolkien and Tolstoy
Marries a good boy
She's a true believer
Made youngest partner
At Goldstein and Gardner
She's an over-achiever
They say"Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a girl healthy, wealthy and wise"
But her horn of plenty
Turned out empty
White Knuckles, hanging on
Grasping the familiar 'til the blood is gone
White Knuckles, won't let go
She's a real-life star
In a runaway rodeo
Gets pregnant at thirty
Baby comes early
A beautiful boy
But she never expected
To feel disconnected
From this bundle of joy
They say"Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a girl healthy, wealthy and wise"
But her horn of plenty
Turned out empty
White Knuckles, hanging on
Grasping the familiar 'til the blood is gone
White Knuckles, won't let go
She's a real-life star
In a runaway rodeo
She picks up her baby
Holds him for awhile
As five tiny fingers
Grasps hers and then she smiles
White Knuckles, hanging on
Grasping the familiar 'til the blood is gone
White Knuckles, won't let go
She's a real-life star
In a runaway rodeo
White Knuckles, hanging on
Grasping the familiar 'til the blood is gone
White Knuckles, won't let go
She's a real-life star
In a runaway rodeo.
