Wild In The Street Songtext / Lyric

Joey comes from a sacred part of town

Where sometimes you talk so tough

Your feet don't touch the ground



And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnight blues

While the old men recite their story lines

About when I was young like you



They say, "Oh yeah, we were cruising to the back beat

Oh yeah, making love in the backseat"



"We were wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets"



A member of the boys brigade

Had a date with the girl next door

You know it made her daddy crazy

It only made her want him more



They weren't looking for trouble

That boy didn't want a fight, not tonight

So she headed out through her bathroom window

What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright






They said, "Oh yeah, we're cruising to the back beat

Oh yeah, making love in the backseats

And ooh, we were"



"We were wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets

We were wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets"

Rock me



Sometimes this town ain't pretty

But you know it ain't so bad

Just like a girl who looks so happy

When inside she's so, so sad



In here we got this code of honor

No ones's going down

You don't walk in vain through the kids parade

'Cause this is my hometown



Wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets

We were wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets



Yeah, we were wild in the streets

Wild in the streets

Wild in the streets

Wild in the streets

Wild in the streets



Yeah, we were wild in the streets

Wild in the streets

Wild in the streets

Wild
