I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a three-ninety-sixFuelie heads and a Hurst on the floorShe's waiting tonight down in the parking lotOutside the Seven-Eleven storeMe and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratchAnd he rides with me from town to townWe only run for the money, got no strings attachedWe shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down
Tonight, tonight the strip's just rightI want to blow 'em off in my first heatSummer's here and the time is rightFor racin' in the street
We take all the action we can meetAnd we cover all the northeast stateWhen the strip shuts down we run 'em in the streetFrom the fire roads to the interstateSome guys they just give up livingAnd start dying little by little, piece by pieceSome guys come home from work and wash upAnd go racin' in the street
Tonight, tonight the strip's just rightI want to blow 'em all out of their seatsCalling out around the world, we're going racin' in the street
I met her on the strip three years agoIn a Camaro with this dude from L.A.I blew that Camaro off my backAnd drove that little girl awayBut now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyesAnd she cries herself to sleep at nightWhen I come home the house is darkShe sighs, "baby did you make it all right"She sits on the porch of her daddy's houseBut all her pretty dreams are tornShe stares off alone into the nightWith the eyes of one who hates for just being bornFor all the shut down strangers and hot rod angelsRumbling through this promised landTonight my baby and me, we're gonna ride to the seaAnd wash these sins off our hands
Tonight, tonight the highway's brightOut of our way, mister, you best keep'Cause summer's here and the time is rightFor racin' in the street
Meaning?
How we are carried away with things rather than people? How speed and a hobby can pull us away from love. And thus the personal wreckage we leave behind.
The lyrics suggest that it can be all fixed. “Tonight my baby and me, we’re gonna ride to the sea And wash these sins off our hands.” Maybe not!
Yet there is also the message that we must do something to quicken our souls. It is all too easy to be "dying, little by little, piece by piece.”
The decisions we make on how to spend our time are not easy. Life can be hard, and it is easy to make it harder very quickly.
Informative and helpful Post. Thanks for sharing. I want to share information about the iOS app development companies in Pune. The cooperative and client-centric approach embraced by these entities ensures fluid communication and transparency throughout the development journey, cultivating a robust partnership between the client and the development team. Consequently, enterprises in Pune stand to gain from bespoke iOS applications that not only elevate their digital footprint but also amplify user engagement and satisfaction, thereby making significant contributions to their overall triumph in the fiercely competitive mobile app landscape.
