        DI got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
            GFuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
       EmShe's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
             GOutside the Seven-Eleven store
           DMe and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
            GAnd he rides with me from town to town
        EmWe only run for the money got no strings attached
            GWe shut `em up and then we shut `em down

D       DTonight, tonight the strip's just right
         GI wanna blow `em off in my first heat
EmSummer's here and the time is right
     GFor racin' in the street

   DWe take all the action we can meet
        GAnd we cover all the northeast state
           EmWhen the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
          GFrom the fire roads to the interstate
     DNow some guys they just give up living
           GAnd start dying little by little piece by piece
                EmSome guys come home from work and wash up
         GThen go racin' in the street

D        DTonight, tonight the strip's just right
         GI wanna blow `em all out of their seats
EmCalling out around the world
             GWe're going racin' in the street

       DI met her on the strip three years ago
     GIn a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
  EmI blew that Camaro off my back 
     GAnd drove that little girl away
         DBut now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
          GAnd she cries herself to sleep at night
            EmWhen I come home the house is dark
           GShe sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
    DShe sits on the porch of her daddy's house
    GBut all her pretty dreams are torn
     EmShe stares off alone into the night
          GWith the eyes of one who hates for just being born
            DFor all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angels 
   GRumbling through this promised land
    EmTonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
     GAnd wash these sins off our hands

D       DTonight, tonight the highway's bright
     GOut of our way mister you best keep
        Em`Cause summer's here and the time is right
             GWe're goin' racin' in the street
