A voice so familiar with a face unknown
And a sound as good as it gets
Honky tonk pool halls and smoke her groupies
But she always gives them her best
You've heard her before maybe bought her a drink
She's the queen of the local dive bar
When your life's overrun with turmoil and strife
She'll sing you back to better days
Dazzled with rhinestones and half drunken winks
She's the queen of the local dive bar
After the last ugly cry leaves the floor
And that final cover is played
Her eyes fill with light as she belts a new tune
And the roadies start loading up that stage
You've heard her before maybe bought her a drink
Tossed a dollar or two in her jar
And she's dazzled with rhinestones and half drunken winks
She's the queen of the local dive bar
She's the queen of the local dive bar
I'm the queen of the local dive bar
