Lyrics
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 'bout when I was young like you
They say (oh yeah), we were cruising to the back beat
(Oh, yeah) Making love in the backseat
And, ooh, 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
But 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 say (oh yeah), we're cruising to the back beat
(Oh, yeah) Making love in the backseat
And, ooh, 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 one'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
Oh-oh-oh, wild in the streets
Oh-oh-oh, wild in the streets
Wild
