[00:02.20].

[00:07.41].
[00:35.34]I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
[00:41.08]Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
[00:47.08]She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
[00:52.21]Outside the Seven-Eleven store
[00:58.18]Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
[01:03.99]And he rides with me from town to town
[01:09.79]We only run for the money got no strings attached
[01:15.17]We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down
[01:21.48].
[01:21.79]Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
[01:27.29]I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
[01:34.09]Summer's here and the time is right
[01:41.34]For goin' racin' in the street
[01:44.27].
[02:07.96]We take all the action we can meet
[02:13.40]And we cover all the northeast state
[02:19.40]When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
[02:24.84]From the fire roads to the interstate
[02:31.46]Some guys they just give up living
[02:35.15]And start dying little by little, piece by piece
[02:42.34]Some guys come home from work and wash up
[02:47.40]And go racin' in the street
[02:52.15].
[02:54.21]Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
[02:59.78]I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
[03:05.46]Calling out around the world,
[03:08.90]we're going racin' in the street
[03:15.15].
[03:18.09]
[03:45.87]I met her on the strip three years ago
[03:51.12]In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
[03:57.31]I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl away
[04:08.62]But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
[04:13.99]And she cries herself to sleep at night
[04:20.18]When I come home the house is dark
[04:25.55]She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
[04:31.21]She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
[04:36.90]But all her pretty dreams are torn
[04:43.40]She stares off alone into the night
[04:48.28]With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
[04:54.15]For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels
[05:00.59]Rumbling through this promised land
[05:05.59]Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
[05:11.34]And wash these sins off our hands
[05:15.78].
[05:17.09]Tonight tonight the highway's bright
[05:22.84]Out of our way mister you best keep
[05:28.03]'Cause summer's here and the time is right
[05:34.15]For goin' racin' in the street
[05:38.77].
