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

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

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

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

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

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