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

Chorus:
    F
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
         A#
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Gm
Summer's here and the time is right
     A#
For racin' in the street

We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast states
When the strip shuts down, we run 'em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate
Now, some guys, they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
Then go racin' in the street

Chorus:
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
We're calling out around the world
We're going racin' in the street

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

Chorus:
Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way, mister, you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street
