Lyrics

[00:23.33] Joey comes from a sacred part of town
[00:28.39] Where sometimes you talk so tough
[00:30.45] That your feet don't touch the ground
[00:34.51] And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnite blues
[00:40.61] While the old men recite their story lines
[00:43.12] About when I was young like you
[00:45.94] They say: Oh yeah
[00:47.79] We were cruising to the backbeat
[00:52.24] Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
[00:57.98] We were wild, wild in the streets
[01:09.64] A member of the boy's brigade
[01:11.43] Had a date with the girl next door
[01:15.16] You know it made her daddy crazy
[01:16.69] But it only made her want him more
[01:20.76] They weren't looking for trouble
[01:22.31] You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
[01:26.67] So she headed out thru her bathroom window
[01:29.52] What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright
[01:32.36] They said: Oh yeah
[01:34.55] We were cruising to the backbeat
[01:38.72] Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
[01:44.27] We were wild, wild in the streets
[01:50.40] Wild, wild in the streets
[01:56.19] Wild, wild in the streets
[02:02.14] Wild, wild in the streets
[02:30.61] Sometimes this town ain't pretty
[02:32.70] But you know it ain't so bad
[02:36.42] Just like a girl who looks so happy
[02:39.03] Whe inside she's so so sad
[02:42.45] In here we got this code of honor
[02:44.90] Nobody's going down
[02:48.42] You don't walk in vain
[02:49.82] Trough the kid's parade
[02:51.49] 'Cause this is my hometown
[02:54.65] Wild, wild in the streets
[03:00.57] Wild, wild in the streets
[03:06.37] Wild, wild in the streets
[03:12.16] Wild, wild in the streets
