Verse 
A                       F               D                 A 
Out on the street on a hot summer night - with nothin' to do 
                      F 
A little bit high, a little bit crazy 
D                A 
With nothin' to lose 
                            F               D                       A 
Well, me and the boys were makin' some noise - we were lettin' off steam 
                             F 
Well, I looked at Keith and Keith looked at me 
D                  A 
And we stole that machine 
 
          E         A   D  A 
It's the boys night out 
          E         A   D  A 
It's the boys night out 
         E           A   D  A 
Gonna scream gonna shout 
        E         A   D 
On the boys night out

Verse 
   A                    F                D                   A 
A hand on the stick, a hand on the wheel - we were havin' a laugh 
                                 F 
When you look in the mirror and see those red lights flashin' 
D                   A 
There's no turnin' back 
                   F                D                       A 
110 through those hot summer streets with the heat on our trail 
                          F 
We ran every light as we ran from the law 
D                       A 
Man, you shoulda been there - ya you shoulda been there! 
 
          E         A   D  A 
It's the boys night out 
          E         A   D  A 
It's the boys night out 
         E           A   D  A

Verse 
          A 
We pushed into the night til the sun came up on Interstate 5 
          A 
A little bit tired a little bit hazy 
        A 
Gonna cross that line
