DarknessRacing In The StreetI got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floorShes waiting tonight down in the parking lotOutside the Seven-Eleven storeMe and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratchAnd he rides with me from town to townWe only run for the money got no strings attachedWe shut `em up and then we shut `em downTonight tonight the strips just rightI wanna blow `em off in my first heatSummers here and the time is rightWere goin racin in the streetWe take all the action we can meetAnd we cover all the northeast stateWhen the strip shuts down we run `em in the streetFrom the fire roads to the interstateSome guys they just give up livingAnd start dying little by little piece by pieceSome guys come home from work and wash upThen go racin in the streetTonight tonight the strips just rightI wanna blow `em all out of their seatsCalling out around the worldWere going racin in the streetI met her on the strip three years agoIn a Camaro with this dude from L.A.I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl awayBut now theres wrinkles around my babys eyesAnd she cries herself to sleep at nightWhen I come home the house is darkShe sighs "Baby did you make it all right"She sits on the porch of her daddys houseBut all her pretty dreams are tornShe stares off alone into the nightWith the eyes of one who hates for just being bornFor all the shut-down strangers and hot rod angelsRumbling through this promised landTonight my baby and me were gonna ride to the seaAnd wash these sins off our handsTonight tonight the highways brightOut of our way mister you best keep`Cause summers here and the time is rightWere goin racin in the street
