"Highway Unicorn (Road to love)" is a song by Lady Gaga from the album, Born This Way. The song title was revealed through Gaga's Twitter right before the release of the Born This Way album artwork on April 16, 2011.[1] The song was registered on her BMI on May 17, 2011.

Background

NME reported that the song will have "a soaring melody, nods to Springsteen and an industrial techno production represent the blueprint for ‘Born This Way’. An unicorn is mentioned."
Gaga also said that "The sax in 'Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)' and in ‘Hair’ and in ‘Edge Of Glory’ – is not just there for no reason. [She] grew up listening to much Springsteen and Billy Joel, so in a way, it represents [her] innocence."

Gaga revealed on Twitter that the song was about herself, traveling on the road with nothing but a dream.[2]

Lyrics

We can be strong, we can be strong
Out on this lonely run on the road to love
We can be strong, we can be strong
Follow that unicorn on the road to love

Run run with her t-
Run run with her t-
Run run with her t-
Run run with her t-
Run run with her t-
Run run with her t-
Run run with her t-
Run run with with with

Run run with her top down, baby she flies
Run run with the fury, a saint in her eyes
Run run ha cha cha cha, baby she goes
With blonde hair and a gun smokin' under her toes

Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony, ride ride
Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony tonight

We can be strong, we can be strong
Out on this lonely run on the road to love
We can be strong, we can be strong
Follow that unicorn on the road to love

I'm on the roa-oa-oa-oa-oad
I'm on the road to love
I'm on the roa-oa-oa-oa-oad
I'm on the road to love

She's just an American ridin' a dream
And she's got a rainbow syrup in her heart that she bleeds
She don't care if your papers or your love is the law
She's a free soul burnin' roads with a flag in her bra

Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony, ride ride
Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Hoah-oo-whoa-oo-whoa
Oh-oh-oo-oh
Ride ride, pony tonight

We can be strong, we can be strong
Out on this lonely run on the road to love
We can be strong, we can be strong
Follow that unicorn on the road to love

I'm on the roa-oa-oa-oa-oad
I'm on the road to love
I'm on the roa-oa-oa-oa-oad
I'm on the road to love

Get your hot rods ready to rumble
'Cause we're gonna fall in love tonight
Get your hot rods ready to rumble
'Cause we're gonna drink until we die

Get your hot rods ready to rumble
'Cause we're gonna fall in love tonight
Get your hot rods ready to rumble
'Cause we're gonna drink until we die

Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
