HIGHWAY QUEEN
NIKKI LANE
No capo, standard tuning
[VERSE 1]
G F/C C
Well I heard tell of a woman out there with tight blue jeans and long black hair
G F/C D
She’ll come to play but she won’t stay and it always brings them down
G F/C C
Some folks say there’ll come a day when she’ll settle in some old town
G F/C D
But it’s best to know it’s a long long road and she ain’t gonna come around
[CHORUS]
G F/C C
60,000 miles of blacktop, countless broken hearts between
G F/C C
Winding lines are wide but don’t stop, living the life of the highway queen
G F/C C
She’s a siren, leaves you pining, haunts your mind like a melody
G F/C C F/C D G
You can tie her down, you can bottle lightening but the highway queen don’t need no king
[VERSE 2]
G F/C C
Well one or two, they might’ve broken through, they might’ve nearly roped her in
G F/C D
But a fire like that is far too wild, it’s gonna burn and burn again
G F/C C
Well seasons fade, so does the paint it blows away like a tumbleweed
G F/C D
Can’t blame the girl for loving this whole world, she can’t help it she’s a highway queen
[CHORUS]
G F/C C
60,000 miles of blacktop, countless broken hearts between
G F/C C
Winding lines are wide but don’t stop, living the life of the highway queen
G F/C C
She’s a siren, leaves you pining, haunts your mind like a melody
G F/C C F/C D G
You can tie her down, you can bottle lightening but the highway queen don’t need no king
C F/C D G
Highway queen don’t need no king
[BRIDGE]
G F/C C
Well miles and miles she keeps on rolling
G F/C C
Place your bets if you ain’t foldin
G F/C C
Miles and miles no sign of slowing
G F/C D
It ain’t who she loves it’s who she’s holding
[CHORUS]
