Dm F He blew that Camaro 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 For 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 Dm Cause summer's here and the time is right F C Bb C Bb F C For racin' in the street From Emmylou Harris "Last Date" Warner Brothers Records 1982 Bruce Springsteen(ASCAP)
