({A}) Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you ({F#m}) talk so tough
Your feet don't touch the ground
And the ({A}) sidewalk soldiers sing their midnite blues
While the ({F#m}) old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you
Chorus:
They say: ({A}) Oh ({D})yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat ({A}) ({D})
({A}) Oh ({D}) yeah, making love in the ({E}) backseats
We were ({A}) wild, ({D})wild in the ({Bm}) streets
({A}) Wild, ({D})wild in the ({Bm}) streets
A member of the ({A}) boy's brigade
Had a date with the girl next door
You know it made ({F#m}) her daddy crazy
But it only made her want him more
They weren't ({A}) looking for trouble
You know that boy didn't want a fight - not tonight
So she ({F#m}) 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
Just like a ({F#m}) girl who looks so happy
When inside she's so sad
In ({A}) here we got this code of honor
Nobody's going down
You don't ({F#m})walk in vain
Through the kid's parade
'Cause this is my hometown
Wild...
