        D5
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
            G5
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
       E5
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
             G5
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
           D5
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
            G5
And he rides with me from town to town
        E5
We only run for the money got no strings attached
            G5
We shut `em up and then we shut `em down

D5       D5
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
         G5
I wanna blow `em off in my first heat
E5
Summer's here and the time is right
     G5
For racin' in the street

   D5
We take all the action we can meet
        G5
And we cover all the northeast state
           E5
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
          G5
From the fire roads to the interstate
     D5
Now some guys they just give up living
           G5
And start dying little by little piece by piece
                E5
Some guys come home from work and wash up
         G5
Then go racin' in the street

D5        D5
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
         G5
I wanna blow `em all out of their seats
E5
Calling out around the world
             G5
We're going racin' in the street

       D5
I met her on the strip three years ago
     G5
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
  E5
I blew that Camaro off my back 
     G5
And drove that little girl away
         D5
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
          G5
And she cries herself to sleep at night
            E5
When I come home the house is dark
           G5
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
    D5
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
    G5
But all her pretty dreams are torn
     E5
She stares off alone into the night
          G5
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
            D5
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels 
   G5
Rumbling through this promised land
    E5
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
     G5
And wash these sins off our hands

D5       D5
Tonight, tonight the highway's bright
     G5
Out of our way mister you best keep
        E5
`Cause summer's here and the time is right
             G5
We're goin' racin' in the street
