Steve Earle(born January 17, 1955) is a singer-songwriterbest known for his countrymusic and rock 'n roll tinged " alt-country." He is also a published writer, a keen political activist (particularly in protesting against the death penalty in the U.S., as in his song "Ellis Unit One" from the movie Dead Man Walking), and has written and directed a play. Born in Hampton, Virginia, legend has it that a box of Texas dirt, sent by his grandfather, was brought into the delivery room, so that it could be said that the first soil Earle's feet ever touched was Texan. He moved around the U.S. with his parents, before dropping out of school in the 8th grade and heading to Houston, Texas, to explore a career in music. In 1975, he moved to Nashville and worked as a songwriter.

High Fashion Queen Lyrics
Steve Earle
Theres a place everyone of us can go to
Maybe you have been there once or twice
Where all your friends just look at you and whisper
And they want to give you nothing but advice
When you walk in they all know what youre after
And the higher that you get the more theyll see
In a dark room filled with music, wine, and laughter
Your eyes keep searching for her constantly
Is it that one in the corner with her eyes filled with tears
Or is she the one whos having fun drinking too much beer
Every night its the same sad old procedure
The doorman winks at you on your way out
cause deep inside he knows just what youre after
And hes got something you cant live without
Theres nothing new that can be said about dirt
And theres nothing left inside your heart but the same old hurt
Of an old loves fancy life that left you stranded in a dream
Aint you glad youre a high fashion queen
Aint you glad youre a high fashion queen
