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

Thank you David Lindley
