Racing In The Street

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floorShe's waiting tonight down in the parking lotOutside the Seven-Eleven storeMe and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratchAnd he rides with me from town to townWe only run for the money got no strings attatchedWe shut 'em up and then we shut 'em downTonight tonight the strip's just rightI wanna blow 'em off in my first heatSummer's here and the time is rightWe're goin' racin' in the streetWe take all the action we can meetAnd we cover all the northeast stateWhen the strip shuts down we run 'em in the streetFrom the fire roads to the interstateSome guys they just give up livingAnd start dying little by little piece by pieceSome guys come home from work and wash upThen go rain' in the streetTonight tonight the strip's just rightI wanna blow 'em all out of their seatsCalling out around the worldWe're going racin' in the streetI met her on the strip three years agoIn a Camaro with this dude from L.A.I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl awayBut now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyesAnd she cries herself to sleep at nightWhen I come home the house is darkShe sighs "Baby did you make it all right"She sits on the porch of her daddy's houseBut all her pretty dreams are tornShe stares off alone into the nightWith the eyes of one who hates for just being bornFor all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angelsRumbling through this promised landTonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the seaAnd wash these sins off our handsTonight tonight the highway's brightOut of our way mister you best keep'Cause summer's here and the time is rightWe're goin' racin' in the street
