Lyrics

One, two, three, four, five, six Roadrunner, roadrunner Going faster miles an hour Gonna drive past the Stop 'n' Shop With the radio on I'm in love with Massachusetts And the neon when it's cold outside And the highway when it's late at night Got the radio on I'm like the roadrunner Alright, I'm in love with modern moonlight 128 when it's dark outside I'm in love with Massachusetts I'm in love with the radio on It helps me from being alone late at night It helps me from being lonely late at night I don't feel so bad now in the car Don't feel so alone, got the radio on Like the roadrunner, that's right Said, "Welcome to the spirit of 1956" Patient in the bushes next to '57 The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick Suburban trees, suburban speed And it smells like thunder And I say roadrunner once, roadrunner twice I'm in love with rock and roll and I'll be out all night Roadrunner, that's right Well, now Roadrunner, roadrunner Going faster miles an hour Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop With the radio on at night And me in love with modern moonlight Me in love with modern rock and roll Modern girls and modern rock and roll Don't feel so alone, got the radio on Like the roadrunner Okay, now you sing, Modern Lovers (radio on) I got the AM (radio on) Got the car, got the AM (radio on) Got the AM sound, got the (radio on) Got the rockin' modern neon sound (radio on) I got the car from Massachusetts, got the (radio on) I got the power of Massachusetts when it's late at night (radio on) I got the modern sounds of modern Massachusetts (radio on) I've got the world, got the turnpike, got the (radio on) I've got the, I've got the power of the AM, got the (radio on) Late at night, hit 'em wide, rock and roll late at night (radio on) The factories and the auto signs (radio on) We've got the power of modern sounds (radio on) Alright (radio on) Right, bye bye
