| F | Dm7 | C4 | Bb |
FI (133211@1)got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
BbFuelie (x1333x@1)heads and a Hurst on the floor
GmShe's (355333@1)waiting tonight down in the parking lot
BbOutside (x1333x@1)the Seven-Eleven store
FMe (133211@1)and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
BbAnd (x1333x@1)he rides with me from town to town
GmWe (355333@1)only run for the money got no strings attached
BbWe (x1333x@1)shut `em up and then we shut `em down
C7 (x32310@1) FTonight, (133211@1)tonight the strip's just right
BbI (x1333x@1)wanna blow `em off in my first heat
GmSummer's (355333@1)here and the time is right
BbFor (x1333x@1)racin' in the street
FWe (133211@1)take all the action we can meet
BbAnd (x1333x@1)we cover all the northeast state
GmWhen (355333@1)the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
BbFrom (x1333x@1)the fire roads to the interstate
FNow (133211@1)some guys they just give up living
BbAnd (x1333x@1)start dying little by little piece by piece
GmSome (355333@1)guys come home from work and wash up
BbThen (x1333x@1)go racin' in the street
C7 (x32310@1) FTonight, (133211@1)tonight the strip's just right
BbI (x1333x@1)wanna blow `em all out of their seats
GmCalling (355333@1)out around the world
BbWe're (x1333x@1)going racin' in the street
(Break) | F | Dm7 | C4 | Bb | F | Dm7 | C4 | Bb |
FI (133211@1)met her on the strip three years ago
BbIn (x1333x@1)a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
GmI (355333@1)blew that Camaro off my back
BbAnd (x1333x@1)drove that little girl away
FBut (133211@1)now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
BbAnd (x1333x@1)she cries herself to sleep at night
GmWhen (355333@1)I come home the house is dark
BbShe (x1333x@1)sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
FShe (133211@1)sits on the porch of her daddy's house
BbBut (x1333x@1)all her pretty dreams are torn
GmShe (355333@1)stares off alone into the night
BbWith (x1333x@1)the eyes of one who hates for just being born
FFor (133211@1)all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
BbRumbling (x1333x@1)through this promised land
GmTonight (355333@1)my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
BbAnd (x1333x@1)wash these sins off our hands
C7 (x32310@1) FTonight, (133211@1)tonight the highway's bright
BbOut (x1333x@1)of our way mister you best keep
Gm`Cause (355333@1)summer's here and the time is right
BbWe're (x1333x@1)goin' racin' in the street
