Queen of The Highway

"Queen of the Highway" is a song by the rock group The Doors, from their 1970 album Morrison Hotel. It is the ninth, and third-to-last track on that album. The lyrics were written by lead singer Jim Morrison and are believed to be about his girlfriend Pamela Courson, with the lines "She was a princess / Queen of the Highway" referring to her, the "He was a Monster / Black dressed in leather" being a description of Jim Morrison himself, and the "I hope it can continue / Just a little while longer" lines being perhaps, as suggested in No One Here Gets Out Alive, a "sardonic reference to their troubled love".

Famous quotes containing the words queen of, queen and/or highway:

    We are no more free agents than the queen of clubs when she victoriously takes prisoner the knave of hearts.
    Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)

    We used chamber-pots a good deal.... My mother ... loved to repeat: “When did the queen reign over China?” This whimsical and harmless scatological pun was my first introduction to the wonderful world of verbal transformations, and also a first perception that a joke need not be funny to give pleasure.
    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    My manner is the footnote to your immoral
    Beauty, that leads me with a magic hair
    Up the spun highway of a vanishing hill
    To Words....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
