Racing In The Street

| D | Bm7 | C | G |

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

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

   D
We take all the action we can meet
        G
And we cover all the northeast state
           Em
When the strip shuts down we run `em
 in the street

          G
From the fire roads to the 
interstate
     D
Now some guys they just give up 
living
           G
And start dying little by little 
piece by piece
                Em
Some guys come home from work and 
wash up
         G
Then go racin' in the street

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

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

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