Racing In The Street

• C

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
