I got a '69 chevy with a 396 Dually heads and a hurst on the floor She's waitin tonight, down in the parkin lotljqioo Outside the 7-11 store Well me and my partner sunny built her straight out of scratch And he rides with me from town to town We only run for the money, got no strings attached We shut em up and the we shut em down Tonight tonight the strips just right I wanna blow em off in my first heat Cause summers here and the time is right For racin in the street Well we take all the action we can meet And we cut up the northwest state When the strip shuts down we run em in the street From the barrios to the interstate Well some guys they just give up livin And start dyin little by little, piece by piece And some guys come home from work and wash up And go racin in the streets Tonight tonight the strips just right I wanna blow em all outta their seats We're callin out around We're goin racin in the street Well I met her on the strip three years ago In a camaro with this dude from l.a. Well I blew that camaro off my back And I 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 alright?" Cause she sits on the porch of her daddy's house But all her pretty dreams are torn Well she stays off alone into the night With the eyes of one who hates for just bein born We're all shutdown strangers and hot rod angels Runnin through this promise land Like my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off of our hands Well tonight tonight, the highways bright Out of our way mister you best keep Cause summers here and the time is right For racin in the streets
