Stepsons - Queen of the Valley (Live) Lyrics

She was queen of the Valley
When I moved to town
Subjects kneeling
Just to kiss the crown
She grew like a sunflower
From the track home lawns
Sad boy and girls
With the TVs on

I'd ride along with her boyfriend
When she'd need a lift
Pick her up at noon
After the morning shift
Oh, could never quite tell
If she was happy at all
Riding with Dean and Sal
Of the strip mall sprawl

Somewhere between the overpasses
An empire under the billboard signs
There she reigns in my memory
Oh, long live the Queen
The Queen of the Valley

Got the nerve to call her up
When he let her down
Guess I always knew
It would never work out
Said, you gotta come visit
When the rush hour breaks
She laughed and said, 'darling, it never does
And it's too late, too late'

Somewhere between the overpasses
An empire under the billboard signs
There she reigns in my memory
Oh, long live the Queen
Long live the Queen

Somewhere, there's a Greyhound station
Where I said my last goodbyes
Her kingdom staring back at me
Oh, long live the Queen
Long live the Queen
The Queen of the Valley
