Locked in a Boxcar With the Queen of Spain Lyrics

Oh no, what to do?
How did I get on this train?
Locked in a boxcar
With the Queen of Spain

"You pour the sweet wine
I'll play the tambourine
Would your majesty mind
If I just call you Queen?"

I don't know where we are
Lord, how I wish it would rain
Locked in a boxcar
With the Queen of Spain

"I believe we must be
Out on some desert alone
Would your majesty care
If I sat on your throne?"

Yes ma'am, I know who you are
Know you have power and fame
Locked in a boxcar
With the Queen of Spain

Engineer left us here
The sun is goin' down
"Would your majesty mind
If I tried on your crown?"

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
