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

SOLO

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
