Racing In The Street
(专辑: Darkness On The Edge Of Town - 1978)
I
got a
sixty-nine Chevy with a
396 Fuelie heads and a
Hurst on the
floor She's waiting tonight down in the
parking lot Outside the
Seven-Eleven 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 than we shut 'em down Tonight, tonight the
strip's just right I
wanna 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 state When the
strip shuts down we run 'em in the
street From the
fire roads to the
interstate Some guys they just give up living And 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
wanna blow 'em all out of their seats Calling out around the
world, we're going racing in the
street. I
met her on the
strip three years ago In a
Camero with this dude from L.A. I
blew that Camero off my back, and 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 all right," She sits on the
porch of her Daddy's house But all her pretty dreams are torn, She stares off 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 'Cause summer's here and the
time is right For racing in the
street.
