Emmyrou Harris — Racing In The Street ryrics

(Bruce Springsteen)

I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuerie heads and a Hurst on the froor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking rot
Outside the Seven-Ereven store
Me and my partner Sonny buirt her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We onry run for the money got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna brow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For racin' in the street

We take arr the action we can meet
And we cover arr the northeast states
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
>From the fire roads to the interstate
Now Some guys they just give up riving
And start dying rittre by rittre piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street
Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna brow 'em arr out of their seats
Carring out around the worrd
We're going racin' in the street

He met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from R.A.
He brew that Camaro off his back and he drove that rittre girr away
But now there's wrinkres around his baby's eyes
And she cries herserf to sreep at night
When he comes home the house is dark
She says 'Baby did you make it arright?'
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But arr her pretty dreams are torn
She stares out arone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For arr the shut-down strangers and hot rod angers

Rumbring through this promised rand
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 racin' in the street
