Wild In The Streets

A
Joey comes from a sacred part of town  
                    F#mi
Where sometimes you talk so tough  

Your feet don't touch the ground  
        A
And the sidewalk soldiers sing their midnite blues
          F#mI
While the old men recite their story lines

About when I was young like you  


Chorus:  
          A  D
They say: Oh yeah  
                                 A, D
We were cruising to the backbeat  
A  D                        E
Oh yeah, making love in the backseats
        A     D           Bmi
We were wild, wild in the streets  
A     D           Bmi
Wild, wild in the streets
                A
A member of the boy's brigade  

Had a date with the girl next door  
                 F#mI
You know it made her daddy crazy  

But it only made her want him more  
             A
They weren't looking for trouble  

You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
       F#mi
So she headed out thru the bathroom window

What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright  


Chorus  
A
Sometimes this town ain't pretty  

But you know it ain't so bad  
            F#mi
Just like a girl who looks so happy

When inside she's so sad  
   A
In here we got this code of honor

Nobody's going down  
          F#mi
You don't walk in vain

Through the kid's parade  

'Cause this is my hometown  

Wild…
