racing in the street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][Am][C][D]
I got [G]a sixty-

[Verse 1]
nine Chevy with a 396
Fue[C]lie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's [Am]waiting tonight down
in the parking lot
Outside [C]the Seven- Eleven store
Me [G]and my partner Sonny built
her straight out of scratch
And [C]he rides with me from town to town
We [Am]only run for the money got
no strings attached
We shut 'em [C]up and then
we shut 'em down
[G]Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna [C]blow 'em off in my first heat
Sum[Am]mer's here and the time is right
For [C]racin' in the street
We [G]take all

[Verse 2]
the action we can meet
And we [C]cover all the northeast states
[Am]When the strip shuts down we run
'em in the street
>From the [C]fire roads to the interstate
[G]Now Some guys they just give up living
And start dy[C]ing little by
little piece by piece
[Am]Some guys come home
from work and wash up
And go [C]racin' in the street
To[G]night tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna [C]blow 'em all out
of their [Am]seats
Calling out around the world
We're going [C]racin' in the [F]street
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][F][Bb][F][Dm][G][C]
He [G]met her

[Verse 3]
on the strip three years ago
In [C]a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
He [Am]blew that Camaro off his back
[C]and he drove that little girl away
But [G]now there's wrinkles
around his baby's eyes
And she [C]cries herself to sleep at night
When [Am]he comes home
the house is dark
She says [C]'Baby did you make it alright?'
She [G]sits on the porch of her
daddy's house
But [C]all her pretty dreams are torn
She [Am]stares out alone into the night
With the eyes [C]of one who
hates for just being born
For [G]all the shut- down strangers
and hot rod angels
Rum[C]bling

[Verse 4]
through this promised land
Tonight my [Am]baby and me we're
gonna [C]ride to [Am]the sea[C]
[D]And [C]wash these sins off our hands
To[G]night tonight the highway's bright
Out of our [C]way mister you
best keep
[Am]Cause summer's here
and the time is right
For [C]racin' in the street

[Outro 1]
[G][Em][C][F][G][F]
