I got a '69 chevy with a 396

Dually heads and a hurst on the floor

She's waiting tonight

Down in the parking lot

Outside the 7-11 store

Well me and my partner sunny 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 them up and the

We shut them down

Tonight tonight the strips just right

I wanna blow off my first heat

'Cause summers here and the time is right

For racing in the street

Well we take all the action we can meet

And we cut up the northwest state

When the strip shuts down

We run them in the street

From the barrios to the interstate

Well some guys they just give up living

And start dying little by little

Piece by piece

And some guys come home

From work and wash up

And go racing in the streets

Tonight tonight the strips just right

I wanna blow them all outta their seats

We're calling out around

We're going racing in the street

Well I met her on the

Strip three years ago

In a camaro with this dude from L A

Well I blew that camaro off my back

And I drove that little girl away

But now there's wrinkles

Around my baby's eyes

And she cries herself to sleep at night

When I come home the house is dark

She sighs baby did you make it alright

'Cause she sits on the

Porch of her daddy's house

But all her pretty dreams are torn

Well she stays off alone into the night

With the eyes of one who

Hates for just being born

We're all shutdown strangers

And hot rod angels

Running through this promise land

To like my baby and me

We're gonna ride to the sea

And wash these sins off of our hands

Well tonight tonight

The highways bright

Out of our way mister you best keep

'Cause summers here and the time is right

For racing in the streets
