Last night's gone, we're moving on
Highways call out loud
I bring them in with their eyes of sin
It's a down drinkin' freaky crowd

I chew you up and spit you out
Never want to know your name
Don't want to know you
Sure want to show you
Never will forget I came

Oh, the world's all mine
White lightning and wine
Came on so fast, when did I last
Feel this fine? Ooh, yeah
Ooh, White lightning and wine, yeah

Sweet little one, let me love you some
Take me or leave me alone
The gooder they come, the harder they fall
Turn around you are a nasty joke
Ah, yeah, we all laugh ah, hah, what a gas!
Watching you chew on the bones

In the morning light you didn't look so nice
Guess you'd better hitch hike home

Well the world's all mine
White lightning and wine
Came on so fast, when did I last
Feel this fine? ohh

Ooo, well the world's all mine
White lightning and wine
Came on so fast, when did I last
Feel this fine?
Yeah, yeah

Ah huh, drink white lightning and, ah
Ooh white lightning and wine, yeah
Ooh yeah

Aah, hey
Alright
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Alright
Alright
Alright
Uh uh, yeah
Alright

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
