I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396 |
| [00:28.51] |
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor |
| [00:34.32] |
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot |
| [00:39.68] |
Outside the Seven-Eleven store |
| [00:45.43] |
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch |
| [00:51.62] |
And he rides with me from town to town |
| [00:56.63] |
We only run for the money got no strings attached |
| [01:02.18] |
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down |
| [01:07.13] |
. |
| [01:08.20] |
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right |
| [01:13.50] |
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat |
| [01:19.88] |
Summer's here and the time is right |
| [01:25.18] |
For goin' racin' in the street |
| [01:31.00] |
. |
| [01:31.31] |
We take all the action we can meet |
| [01:35.94] |
And we cover all the northeast state |
| [01:41.93] |
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street |
| [01:46.81] |
From the fire roads to the interstate |
| [01:52.94] |
Some guys they just give up living |
| [01:58.07] |
And start dying little by little, piece by piece |
| [02:03.31] |
Some guys come home from work and wash up |
| [02:09.06] |
And go racin' in the street |
| [02:12.88] |
. |
| [02:14.70] |
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right |
| [02:19.74] |
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats |
| [02:25.82] |
Calling out around the world, |
| [02:30.49] |
we're going racin' in the street |
| [02:34.37] |
. |
| [03:01.59] |
I met her on the strip three years ago |
| [03:06.15] |
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A. |
| [03:11.72] |
I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl away |
| [03:23.60] |
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes |
| [03:28.78] |
And she cries herself to sleep at night |
| [03:35.22] |
When I come home the house is dark |
| [03:40.38] |
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right" |
| [03:46.01] |
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house |
| [03:51.01] |
But all her pretty dreams are torn |
| [03:56.77] |
She stares off alone into the night |
| [04:01.33] |
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born |
| [04:07.45] |
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels |
| [04:13.51] |
Rumbling through this promised land |
| [04:18.25] |
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea |
| [04:24.45] |
And wash these sins off our hands |
| [04:28.39] |
. |
| [04:29.63] |
Tonight tonight the highway's bright |
| [04:35.02] |
Out of our way mister you best keep |
| [04:41.32] |
'Cause summer's here and the time is right |
| [04:47.01] |
For goin' racin' in the street |
| [04:51.76] |
