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 boy's 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

She said (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

Through the kid's parade

'Cause this is my hometown

Wild, wild in the streets

Wild, wild in the streets

And 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

Oh, we were wild in the streets

Whoa-oh-oh, wild in the streets

Whoa-oh-oh, wild in the streets

Wild
