Racing In The Street by Bruce Springsteen
C I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie F heads and a Hurst on the floor
Dm She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the F Seven-Eleven C store
Me and my C partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he F rides with me from town to town
We only Dm run for the money got no strings attached
We shut `em F up and then we shut `em C down
C Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna F blow `em off in my first heat
Dm Summer's here and the time is right
For F racin' in the C street
C We take all the action we can meet
And we F cover all the northeast states
When the Dm strip shuts down we run `em in the street
From the F fire roads to the interstate
Now CSome guys they just give up living
And start dying F little by little piece by piece
Some guys Dm come home from work and wash up
And go F racin' in the street
C Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna F blow `em all out of their seats
Dm Calling out around the world
We're going F racin' in the street
C He met her on the strip three years ago
In a F Camaro with this dude from L.A.
He Dm blew that Camaro off his back
and he F drove that little girl away
But now there's C wrinkles around his baby's eyes
And she F cries herself to sleep at night
When Dm he comes home the house is dark
She says F Baby make it all right
She C sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But F all her pretty dreams are torn
She Dm stares out alone into the night
With the eyes of F one who hates for just being born
For all the C shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
F Rumbling through this promised land
Dm Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And F wash these sins off our hands
C Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our F way mister you best keep
Cause Dm summer's here and the time is right
For F racin' in the street C
