HIGHWAY QUEEN
NIKKI LANE

No capo, standard tuning

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

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

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

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

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

60,000 miles of blacktop, countless broken hearts between
