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
