Bon Jovi - Wild In The Streets Lyrics






Joey comes from a sacred part of town
Where sometimes you talk so tough
That your feet don't touch the ground
And the sidewalk soldiers sing the midnite blues
While the old men recite their story lines
About when I was young like you
They say: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were 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 thru her bathroom window
What her daddy didn't know was gonna be alright
They said: Oh yeah
We were cruising to the backbeat
Oh yeah, Making love in the backseats
We were wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets
Wild, wild in the streets

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
'Cause this is my hometown

    @Tisha Watkins I was born in 1996 & my parents raised me listening to 60s,70s, and 80s music of all genres. I've fallen deeply in love with hair metal especially. How could I not have with bands like Bon Jovi who were all about having fun & making people happy? The good looks are simply a bonus.

    Love how they lined up the footage and audio, whoever made this video did a fantastic job!

  32. W.... M....

    Ahh to have been a teen of the 80's...It was THE BEST!!!!!!! Such an era of  freedom, expression, upbeat energy, NO politically correct squibs peeing on everything. People had a sense of humor and didn't take offense at everything. We didn't have F'ing smartphones filming every second of our boring lives, people sought thrill and fun for the hell of it instead of for fakebook. The social justice warriors were still miserable little urchins under their rocks. Life was altogether 10000000% more vibrant. Great memories.

    W.... M....

    @Dave Sherratt My mom saw Bon Jovi for the first time in 1987 at Pittsburgh civic arena on July 18 of 87 and she saw jon bon jovi fly above the crowd at the same concert. 30 years later she tells me that she got to see them live in 87, I was jelous of my mother because of that.

    W.... M....

    I was born in 1970 this song this group was awesome fun times ice hockey parties on the tracks and if you liked a girl you could be shy or maybe cop a feel not today if you do that now as a teen you are put on mess or something

    W.... M....

    I was born is '73 & so my school life was throughout the 80's, so I qualify as a child of the 80's and your statement is 100% correct. Especially the bit about smart phones and Facebook. The 80's was a great decade to grow up in, only we just didn't realise it at the time.

    W.... M....

    agree, well said ! born in 67.

    W.... M....

    So true!!!!!! I entered the 80s with 6.... left with 16!!! Best time ever!

  33. P.... 3....

    W.... M....

    Good track to sing when you're a bit drunk though lol

  44. D.... J....
