'em in the street

give up living

G
He met her on the strip three years ago
C
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
Em
Am
He blew that Camaro off his back and
C
he drove that little girl away
G
But now there's wrinkles
around his baby's eyes
C
And she cries herself to sleep at night
Am
When he comes home the
house is dark
C
She says 'Baby did you make it alright?'
G
She sits on the porch of
her daddy's house
C
But all her pretty dreams are torn
Am
She stares out alone into the night
C
With the eyes of one who hates
for just being born
G
For all the shut-down strangers
strangers and hot rod angels
Verse 4
C
Rumbling through this promised land
Am
Tonight my baby and me we're
gonna ride to the sea
C
And wash these sins off our hands
G
Tonight tonight the highway's bright
C
Out of our way mister you best keep
Am
Cause summer's here
and the time is right
C

For racin' in the street
