Gm I blew that Camaro off my back Bb And drove that little girl away F But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes Bb And she cries herself to sleep at night Gm When I come home the house is dark Bb She sighs "Baby did you make it all right" F She sits on the porch of her daddy's house Bb But all her pretty dreams are torn Gm She stares off alone into the night Bb With the eyes of one who hates for just being born F For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels Bb Rumbling through this promised land Gm Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea Bb And wash these sins off our hands C7 F Tonight, tonight the highway's bright Bb Out of our way mister you best keep Gm `Cause summer's here and the time is right Bb We're goin' racin' in the street | F | Bb | Gm | Bb | (to fade out) F Dm7 Csus4 Bb Gm C7 -1--1---1--1--3--0- -1--1---1--3--3--1- -2--2---0--3--3--3- -3--0---2--3--5--2- -3------3--1--5--3- -1------------3----
