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 were cruising to the back beat |
|
Oh yeah, making love in the backseats" |
|
"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 trough 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 |
