Racing in the Street (Live at The Carousel, Asbury Park, NJ - December 2010)

I got a '32 Ford, she's a 318, fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot outside the 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, we got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down

Well, tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
We'll come on out around the world
We're going racing in the street, go

Well, 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 back roads to the turnpike gates
Well now, some guys they do it for the money
Other guys do it 'cause they don't know what else they can do
Well, there just ain't nothing left at home
I'm tired of waking up in a world that somebody else owns

Well, tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Hey, summer's here and the time is right
To racing in the street

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 stole that girl away
Now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
Hey, 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 after all her pretty dreams were torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the blown-off strangers and hot rod angels
Stumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands

Well, tonight, tonight the strips just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Well, come on out, the time is right
We're going racing in the street

Come on

Thank you
