[Verse 1]
I can hear the hum
Overhead of the power lines
Something half-sung and half-spoken
And fully ours tonight
This country's run by rich men's sons
And they don't look like
Anyone we've seen around
These hallowed grounds
That we call yours and mine
[Chorus]
So let us be
The queen and king of smaller things
You and me
The queen and king of smaller things
[Verse 2]
Out there is a place for leavers
And those who've not arrived
Looking for delivery in the miles and speed
Of ruling the yellow lines
I've held your hand across borderlands
A million times in my own mind
Seen highway flowers shake in the wind
Until I'm blown back to you again
[Chorus]
And we'll be
The queen and king of smaller things
You and me
The queen and king of smaller things
[Verse 3]
Across the dividing line
Young hearts trade their blood for rust
Because they lost their bets
On the candidates
Who don't give a damn for us
You've seen me bow to temporary crowns
But you're the one I wanna follow now
And if the miles between
Cut me at the knees
I'm be low enough to kiss your ring
[Chorus]
And we'll be
The queen and king of smaller things
You and me
The queen and king of smaller things
You and me
The queen and king of smaller things
