Racing in the Streets - 2008 Remaster

I got a '69 Chevy with a 396
 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
 She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
 Outside a 7-11 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
 Summer's here and the time is right
 For racing in the street
 We take all the action we can meet
 And we cover all the northeast states
 When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
 From the fire roads to the interstate
 Now some guys they just give up living
 Start dying little by little, piece by piece
 Some guys come home from work and wash up
 And go racing in the street
 Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
 I'm gonna blow 'em all out of their seats
 We're calling out all around the world
 We're going racing in the street

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