Racing In The Streets

I got a '69 Chevy with a 396, fuely heads & a Hurst on the floor\nShe’s waitin tonight down in the parking lot outside the 7−11 store.\nMe & my partner’s son we built her straight out of scratch, & he rides\nWith me from town to town. We only run for the money got no strings\nAttached, we shut em up & then we shut em down.\nTonight Tonight, the strips just right, I wanna blow em off in my first\nHeat. Cause summer’s here and the time is right, we’re goin' Racing\nIn the street…(hamonica)\nNow we take all the action we can make and we cover all the northeast states.\nWhen the strip shuts down we ran em in the street from the fire roads to The interstates.\nNow some guys they just give up livin, & start dyin little by little, piece\nBy piece. Some guys come home from work and wash up and go Racing\nIn the streets.\nTonight Tonight, the strips just right, I wanna blow em all out of their\nSeats. We’re callin' out around the world. We’re going racing…(Key Change)\nI met her on the strip 3 years ago, in a Camaro with some dude from LA.\nI blew that Camaro off my back, & I drove that little girl away.\nBut now there’s wrinkles round my baby’s eyes, & she cries herself to sleep at night.\nAnd when I come home the house is dark she says baby did you make it alright?\nNow she just sits on the porch of her daddy’s house, and all her pretty dreams\nBeen torn.\nShe just stares off all alone into the night, with the eyes of one who waits\nFor just being born.\nWell for all the shut down strangers & hot rod angels ramblin thru this\nPromised land.\nTonight my baby & me we’re gonna ride to the sea, & wash these sands off\nOur hand.\nTonight Tonight, the highway’s bright out of my way, mister you best keep.\nCause summer’s here and the time is right, I’m goin racin' in the street.
