Racing In The Street Chords

Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

D Bm7 C G

 I got a Dsixty-nine Chevy with a 396

 Fuelie headsG and a Hurst on the floor

 She's wEmaiting tonight down in the parking lot

 Outside the SGeven-Eleven store

 Me and my pDartner Sonny built her straight out of scratch

 And he ridesG with me from town to town

 We only Emrun for the money got no strings attached

 We shut `em Gup and then we shut `em down

DTonight,D tonight the strip's just right

 I wanna bGlow `em off in my first heat

EmSummer's here and the time is right

 For rGacin' in the street

 We Dtake all the action we can meet

 And we cGover all the northeast state

 When the stEmrip shuts down we run `em in the street

 From the fGire roads to the interstate

 Now sDome guys they just give up living

 And start dGying little by little piece by piece

 Some guys come hEmome from work and wash up

 Then go rGacin' in the street

DTonight, Dtonight the strip's just right

 I wanna bGlow `em all out of their seats

EmCalling out around the world

 We're going rGacin' in the street

 (Break) | D | Bm7 | C | G | D | Bm7 | C | G |

 I met hDer on the strip three years ago

 In a GCamaro with this dude from L.A.

 I Emblew that Camaro off my back

 And dGrove that little girl away

 But now tDhere's wrinkles around my baby's eyes

 And she crGies herself to sleep at night

 When I come Emhome the house is dark

 She sighs "GBaby did you make it all right"

 She Dsits on the porch of her daddy's house

 But Gall her pretty dreams are torn

 She sEmtares off alone into the night

 With the eGyes of one who hates for just being born

 For all the Dshut-down strangers and hot rod angels

 RumGbling through this promised land

 ToniEmght my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea

 And wGash these sins off our hands

DTonight,D tonight the highway's bright

 Out oGf our way mister you best keep

 `Cause sEmummer's here and the time is right

 We're goin' rGacin' in the street

D Bm7 Em G
