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 !!!
