[F] I got a 69 Chevy with a 396, [Bb] two heads and a Hurst on the floor.
[Gm] She's waitin' for the night down in the [Gm] parking lot, outside [Bb] the 7-Eleven store.
Me [F] and my partner Sonny built her straight outta scratch, and he [Bb] rides with me from town to town.
[G] We only run for money, got no strings attached.
We shut [Bb] him up, and he shut him down.
[F] Tonight, tonight, the strip's just right, I [Bb] wanna blow him off in my first heat.

[F] I met her on the strip three years ago, in a Camaro with this dude from L [F].A.
[Gm] And I blew that Camaro off my back, [A] and drove that [Bb] little girl away.
But [F] now there's wrinkles [Bb] around [F] my baby's eyes, and [Bb] she cries herself to sleep at night.
[Gm] And when I come home, the house is done, she says, [Bb] baby, did you make it all right?
[F] Well, she just sits on the porch of her daddy's house, now [Bb] all her pretty dreams been torn.
[G] He stares [Gm] off alone [G] into the night, with the eyes of [Bb] one who waits for just being born.
For [F] all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels, [C] rumblin' through this promised [Bb] land.

Tonight, my baby [Bb] and me, [G] we're gonna ride [Gm] to the sea, [Bb] and wash these sins off our hands.
[F] Tonight, tonight, the highway's bright [Bb] out of our way, Mr.
