Verse 1
I (A minor) (G major) got a sixty-nine Chevy
Chevy with a 396
(C major) Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's (A minor) waiting tonight down
in the parking lot
Outside the (C major) Seven-Eleven store
store
Me and my (G major) partner Sonny built
her straight out of scratch
And (C major) he rides with me from town to town
We (A minor) only run for the money got
no strings attached
We shut 'em (C major) up and then
we shut 'em down
Tonight (G major) tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna (C major) blow 'em off
in my first heat
(A minor) Summer's here and the time is right
For (C major) racin' in the (G major) street
Verse 2
We take all (G major) the action we can meet
And we cov (C major) er all the northeast states
When the strip (A minor) shuts down we run
'em in the street
>From the fire (C major) roads to the interstate
Now Some (G major) guys they just
give up living
And start dying little (C major) by
little piece by piece
Some (A minor) guys come home from
work and wash up
And go (C major) racin' in the street
Tonight (G major) tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna (C major) blow 'em all
out of their seats
(A minor) Calling out around the world
We're going (C major) racin' in the street (D major)
(G major)

Verse 3
He (G major) met her on the strip three years ago
In a (C major) Camaro with this dude from L.A.
(E minor) He (A minor) blew that Camaro off his back and
he drove (C major) that little girl away
But now there's (G major) wrinkles
around his baby's eyes
And she cries (C major) herself to sleep at night
When (A minor) he comes home the
house is dark
She says (C major) 'Baby did you make it alright?'
She sit (G major) s on the porch of
her daddy's house
But all (C major) her pretty dreams are torn
She stares (A minor) out alone into the night
With the eyes of (C major) one who hates
for just being born
For all the (G major) shut-down strangers
strangers and hot rod angels
Verse 4
Rum (C major) bling through this promised land
To (A minor) night my baby and me we're
gonna ride to the sea
And (C major) wash these sins off our hands
Tonight (G major) tonight the highway's bright
Out of our (C major) way mister you best keep
Cause (A minor) summer's here
and the time is right
For (C major) racin' in the (D major) (G major) street
