Lyrics

[Verse 1] Got a '32 Ford, she's a 318 Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor She's waitin' 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 we shut 'em down [Chorus] Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats Well, come on out around the world We're goin' racin' in the street (Alright) [Verse 2] Well, we take all the action we can meet And we cover all the northeast states And 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 and they just hang around, nothing left at home Wakin' up in a world that somebody else owns [Chorus] And tonight, tonight the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat Well now, summer's here and the time is right For racin' in the street [Verse 3] 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 little girl away But now there's wrinkles 'round my baby's eyes She cries herself to sleep at night And when I come home, the house is dark She sighs, "Baby, did you make it all right?" Yeah, she sits on the porch of her daddy's house Oh, but honey your pretty dress is torn She stares out alone into the night With the eyes of one who hates for just bein' born For all the blown-off strangers and hot rod angels Stumblin' through this promised land Tonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands [Chorus] Tonight, tonight the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat Well, come on out, the time is right We're goin' racin' in the street (Oh)
