Jim Morrison wrote the lyrics about his relationship with Pamela Courson. She was with him in Paris when Morrison died in 1971.
[Verse 1]
She was a princess
Queen of the highway
Sign on the road said:
"Take us to Madre"
No one could save her
Save the blind tiger
He was a monster
Black dressed in leather
She was a princess
Queen of the Highway
[Verse 2]
Now they are wedded
She is a good girl
Naked as children
Out in a meadow
Naked as children
Wild as can be
Soon to have offspring
Start it all over
Start it all over
[Verse 3]
American boy
American girl
Most beautiful people
In the world
Son of a frontier
Indian Swirl
Dancing through the midnight
Whirl-pool
Formless
Hope it can continue
A little while longer, c'mon
