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
