I got [F] a 69 Chevy with [C] 396
[Bb] Juliet's and her stoned floor
[Gm] She's waiting [G] the night [Gm] down in the parking lot
[F] Outside [Bb] the 7 -Eleven store
Me and [F] my partner Sonny
Built her straight out of scratch
And he [Bb] rides with me from town to town
We only [Gm] run for the money
Got no strings attached
We shut them up and then [Bb] we shut them down
[F] Well tonight, tonight
The strip's just right
I [Bb] wanna blow them off my first teeth
[Gm] The summer's here and the time is right
[G] We're [Bb] gold racing in the streets
[C] And [F]
[Bb]
[F] [Gm]
[A] [Bb]
[F] now we take all the action we can
And [Bb] we cover all the northeast states
[F] [Gm] When the strip shuts down we run them in the streets
From [Bb] the fire roads to the interstates
[F] Now some guys they just give up living
And [Bb] start dying little by little, piece by piece
[Gm] Some guys come home from work and wash up
[Bb] And go racing in the streets
Well [F] tonight, tonight
The strip's just right
I [Bb] wanna blow them all out of seats
[Gm] We're calling out around the world
[Bb] We're going racing in the streets

Well I met her on [C] the strip three [F] years ago
In a [Bb] Camaro with this dude from L.A.
[G]
Well [Gm] I blew that Camaro off my back
And I drove that little [Bb] girl
[F] But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she [Bb] cries herself to sleep at night
And when [Gm] I come home the house is dark
She sighed, [Bb] baby, you make it alright
Well [F] she just sits on the porch of her daddy's house
[Bb] Now all her pretty dreams been torn
[Gm] She just stares off alone into the night
With the eyes [Bb] of one who hates for just [G] being born
[F] Well for all the shut down strangers
And hot ride angels
[G] Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and [Gm] me
We're gonna ride to the seas
[Bb] And wash these [F] sins off our hands
Tonight, tonight
The highway's bright [Bb] out of our way
