Racing In The Street

C
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
       F
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
Dm
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
            F
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
          C
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
       F
And he rides with me from town to town
        Dm
We only run for the money got no strings attached
            F
We shut `em up and then we shut `em down
  C
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
          F
I'm gonna blow `em off in my first heat
Dm
Summer's here and the time is right
      F                   C
For racin' in the street
C
We take all the action we can meet
       F
And we cover all the northeast states
         Dm
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
         F
>From the fire roads to the interstate
     C
Now Some guys they just give up living
                F
And start dying little by little piece by piece
          Dm
Some guys come home from work and wash up
        F
And  go racin' in the street
C
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
          F
I'm gonna blow `em all out of their seats
Dm
Calling out around the world
            F
We're going racin' in the street

C
He met her on the strip three years ago
     F
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
   Dm                                   F
He blew that Camaro off his back and he drove that little girl away
                C
But now there's wrinkles around his baby's eyes
        F
And she cries herself to sleep at night
     Dm
When he comes home the house is dark
         F
She says Baby  make it all right
    C
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
    F
But all her pretty dreams are torn
    Dm
She stares out alone into the night
                 F
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
            C
For all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
F
Rumbling through this promised land
Dm
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
    F
And wash these sins off our hands
 C
Tonight tonight the highway's bright
           F
Out of our way mister you best keep
      Dm
Cause summer's here and the time is right
    F                      C   Bb    C    Bb  F   C
For racin' in the street
