[Intro]
D
D I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a three-ninety-six G Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor Ab A She's a'waiting for me in the parking lot G D Outside the Seven-Eleven store D Me and my partner Sonny we built her straight out of scratch G Ab Now run her from town to town A We go for the money no strings attached G D We shut `em up and then we shut `em down D We take all the action we can get G And we cover all the northeast states Ab A When the strip shuts down we run `em in the streets G D From the fire road to the interstate D Tonight, tonight the strip's just right G Ab I gonna blow `em all out of their seats A Summer's here and the time is right G D For racin' in the streets D I met her on the strip three years ago G Ab In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. A I blew that Camaro off my back G D And drove that little girl away D But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes G And she cries herself to sleep at night Ab A She just sits on the porch of her daddy's house G D Says "Babe, did ya make it home all right" D Tonight, tonight the strip's just right G Ab I wanna blow `em off in my first heat A Summer's here and the time is right G D For racin' in the streets D Well some guys they just give up living G And start dying little by little piece by piece Ab A Some guys get off work go home and wash up G D Then go racin' in the street D So all you shut-down strangers and hot rod angels G Rumbling through this promised land Ab A My baby and me we're gonna drive to the sea G D And wash these sins off our hands D D Tonight, tonight the strip's just right G Ab I'm gonna blow 'em all out of their seats A Summer's here and the time is right G D For racin' in the street
