The Queen Is Gone

Verse 1

Sun went down over the mountain line

Radio went quiet at a quarter to nine

They said she left her rhinestones on

And headed for a light across the dawn

Pre-Chorus

But I won't cry for the one who's free

That coat of many colors finally suits her

Chorus

Oh the queen of country is gone

But she sang us a hundred million songs

And somewhere up in the smokestack sky

She's pouring one more jolene and crying honey why

Oh the queen of country is gone

Verse 2

Workin' nine to five till the day she's done

She traded her wig for the morning sun

Every heartbreaking tune she threw

Just echoes back to me and you

Pre-Chorus

And I won't cry for the one who's free

She's singing on a porch just waiting for me

Chorus

Oh the queen of country is gone

But she sang us a hundred million songs

And somewhere up in the smokestack sky

She's pouring one more jolene and crying honey why

Oh the queen of country is gone

Bridge

I will always love you so

That much I surely know

But heaven finally get its girl

All covered up in pearls

Chorus

Oh the queen of country is gone

But she sang us a hundred million songs

And somewhere up in the smokestack sky

She's pouring one more jolene and crying honey why

Oh the queen of country is gone
