With the radio on

                               C  C  G
I'm in love with Massachusetts
                                    C  C  G
And the neon when it's cold outside
                                        C  C  G

Got the radio on

I'm like the roadrunner

I'm in love with Massachusetts
                              C  C  G
I'm in love with the radio on
                                           C  C  G
It helps me from being alone late at night
                                            C  C  G
It helps me from being lonely late at night
                                    C  C  G
I don't feel so bad now in the car
                                      C  C  G
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
                    C  C  G
Like the roadrunner

[Verse]
                                   C  C  G
Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
                                   C  C  G
Patient in the bushes next to '57
                                                  C  C  G
The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick
                               C  C  G
Suburban trees, suburban speed
                                   C  C  G
And it smells like heaven(thunder)
                          C  C  \
And I say roadrunner once
                  C  C  \
Roadrunner twice
                                                       C  C  G
I'm in love with rock & roll and I'll be out all night
            C  C  G
Roadrunner
             C  C  G
That's right

Gonna drive to the Stop 'n' Shop
                           C  C  G
With the radio on at night
                                     C  C  G
And me in love with modern moonlight
                                   C  C  G
Me in love with modern rock & roll
                                    C  C  G
Modern girls and modern rock & roll

Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
                    C  C  G
Like the roadrunner
                                 C  C  G
