Racing In The Street by Emmylou Harris Guitar (C)hords

(C)
I got a sixty-nine (C)hevy with a 396
(F)
(F)uelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
(Dm)
She’s waiting tonight down in the parking lot
(F)
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
(C)
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
(F)
And he rides with me from town to town
(Dm)
We only run for the money got no strings attached
(F)
We shut `em up and then we shut `em down
(C)
Tonight tonight the strip’s just right
(F)
I’m gonna blow `em off in my first heat
(Dm)
Summer’s here and the time is right
(F) (C)
(F)or racin’ in the street
(C)
We take all the action we can meet
(F)
And we cover all the northeast states
(Dm)
When the strip shuts down we run `em in the street
(F)
>(F)rom the fire roads to the interstate
(C)
Now Some guys they just give up living
(F)
And start dying little by little piece by piece
(Dm)
Some guys come home from work and wash up
(F)
And go racin’ in the street
(C)
Tonight tonight the strip’s just right
(F)
I’m gonna blow `em all out of their seats
(Dm)
(C)alling out around the world
(F)
We’re going racin’ in the street

(C)
He met her on the strip three years ago
(F)
In a (C)amaro with this dude from L.A.
(Dm) (F)
He blew that (C)amaro off his back and he drove that little girl away
(C)
But now there’s wrinkles around his baby’s eyes
(F)
And she cries herself to sleep at night
(Dm)
When he comes home the house is dark
(F)
She says Baby make it all right
(C)
She sits on the porch of her daddy’s house
(F)
But all her pretty dreams are torn
(Dm)
She stares out alone into the night
(F)
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
(C)
(F)or all the 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
(F)
And wash these sins off our hands
(C)
Tonight tonight the highway’s bright
(F)
Out of our way mister you best keep
