She set out as the sun came up, her baby half asleep
Put her Blue Ridge in the truck
said, "I gotta leave"
This house we built, it sure is fine, our life is just the same
She said "you know I love you, but the road's been calling me"
Some men are prone to go blind
Along the calf paths of their minds
They work all day from sun to sun doing what the others have done
but she is prone to be free
says "this path don't bother me"
She'll dance for a dollar, dance for a dime
Just to get her next fix of those white lines
She was a highway woman
Fell in love with the open road
Calico Queen
Calamity Jane
Hero of the Plains
The gravel kicked a cloud of dust,
The sky turned red to blue
She told me she'd be back again
Back then she never knew
She was a highway woman
Fell in love with the open road
Calico Queen
Calamity Jane
Hero of the Plains
