Highway Queen - Nikki Lane

Well I heard tell of a woman out there

With tight blue jeans and long black hair

She’ll come to play but she won’t stay

And it always brings 'em down

Some folks say there will come a day

When she’ll settle in some old town

But as best you know this long, long road

She ain’t gonna come around

Sixty thousand miles of blacktop

Countless broken hearts between

Winding lies and wide but don’t stop

Living the life of the highway queen

She’s decided, leaves your party

Haunts your mind like a melody

You can tie her down with a Marlboro Light

But the highway queen don’t need no king

Well one or two, they might have broken through

They might have nearly roped her in

But a fire like that is far too hot

It’s gonna burn and burn again

Seasons fade and so does the pain

It blows away like a like a tumbleweed

You can’t blame the girl for loving this old world

She can’t help it she’s a highway queen

Sixty thousand miles of blacktop

Countless broken hearts between

Winding lies and wide but don’t stop

Living the life of the highway queen

She’s decided, leaves your party

Haunts your mind like a melody

You can tie her down with a Marlboro Light

But the highway queen don’t need no king

Highway queen don’t need no king

Well miles and miles she keeps on rolling

Place your bets if you ain’t folding

Miles and miles, no sign of slowing

It ain’t who she loves, it’s who she’s holding

Sixty thousand miles of blacktop

Countless broken hearts between

Winding lies and wide but don’t stop

Living the life of the highway queen

She’s decided, leaves your party

Haunts your mind like a melody

You can tie her down with a Marlboro Light

But the highway queen don’t need no king

Highway queen don’t need no king

Highway queen don’t need no king

Well miles and miles she keeps on rolling

Place your bets if you ain’t folding

Miles and miles, no sign of slowing

It ain’t who she loves, it’s who she’s holding
