“Wild In The Streets” Bon Jovi 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

“Wild In The Streets” Bon Jovi Lyrics. Writer(s): Jon Bon Jovi
“Wild In The Streets” is a song by Bon Jovi from their 1986 album “Slippery When Wet.” John Leventhal and Jon Bon Jovi wrote it. The song tells the story of a young man living a high life, ready to give it all up for love. He’s wild and unrestrained and doesn’t care what anyone thinks or says. He’s free to do what he wants and enjoys every minute of it. But at some point, he realizes he’s been taken advantage of. He was given a false sense of security, and now he’s paying the price. He’s lost everything – his innocence, self-respect, and life. But at least he can finally rest in peace knowing that he has fulfilled his dreams.
