lyrics

city deep where steel heart beat
and black soot covers up the sky
old man sits with an empty can
begging a dollar or a dime
he can’t sleep and he can’t eat
without downing two bottles of wine

livin in a Railroad City
with the Highway Queen
aint always pretty
sometimes lowdown mean
seems there aint no driver
of the big machine
living in a Railroad City with the Highway Queen

junkyard of rusted cars,
house’s just a broken shack
cigarette packs and hamburger wraps and
tv on full blast
and the tv man with this cheesy tan
tryna scare up some quick cash

livin in a Railroad City
with the Highway Queen
aint always pretty
sometimes lowdown mean
seems there aint no driver
of the big machine
living in a Railroad City with the Highway Queen

with blue or red flags hung up high
everywhere it’s the same ol song
in the province, in the city
the tail wags the dog
high up buildings scraping sky
staring down at us all

livin in a Railroad City
with the Highway Queen
aint always pretty
sometimes lowdown mean
seems there aint no driver
of the big machine
living in a Railroad City with the Highway Queen

just like in every railroad city
down every highway line
from Mumbai to Mississippi
Saskatchewan to Dubai
asphalt nights and truck headlights [with blinking lights]
shanty shacks by the tracks of steel
just like in every railroad city
the deal aint no deal

Rooted both in the jamband resurgence of the 1990s and the original 1960s psychedelic rock revolution, their style encompasses many familiar jam tropes, executed and reimagined with an inspired, dauntless precision. ... more
