If anyone should see me making it down the highway
Breaking all the laws of the land
Well don’t you try to stop me
I’m going her way
And that’s the way I’m sure she had it planned

Well that’s my Rock-and-roll Madonna
She’s always been a lady of the road
Well everybody wants her
But no one ever gets her
Well the freeway is the only way she knows

Well if she would only slow down for a short time
I’d get to know her just before she leaves
But she’s got some fascination for that two wheel combination
And I swear it’s going to be the death of me
