Outside the Seven-Eleven store

Me and my partner Sonny 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 then we shut `em down

Tonight tonight the strip's just right

I'm gonna blow `em off in my first heat
Dm
Summer's here and the time is right
F C
For racin' in the street

We take all the action we can meet

And we cover all the northeast states
Dm
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
F
>From the fire roads to the interstate

Now Some guys they just give up living

And start dying little by little piece by piece

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