A Joey comes from a sacred part of town F#m7 Where sometimes you talk so tough, your feet don't touch the ground A And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnight blues F#m7 While the old men recite their story lines about when I was young like you A D A D They say, oh yeah we were cruising to the back beat A D E Oh yeah, making love in the backseats, and oooohh Chorus: A We were wild, wild in the streets D Bm 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 But it only made her want him more They weren't looking for trouble You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight So she headed out through her bathroom window What her daddy didn't know was going to be alright They said oh yeah we're cruising to the backbeat Oh yeah, making love in the backseats, and oooohh Chorus - x3 Rock me! Sometimes this town ain't pretty But you know it ain't so bad Just like a girl who looks so happy Whe inside she's so so sad In here we got this code of honor Nobody's going down You don't walk in vain Trough the kid's parade Because this is my hometown Chorus - x2 A Yeah we were wild in the streets, wild in the streets D Bm Wild in the streets, wild in the streets A Wild in the streets, wild in the streets D Bm Wild in the streets, wild in the streets A Wild !!!
