Gettin' It In The Street

Daddy left before I was three
Just Momma takin' care of me
My heart was broken
No words spoken
Daddy wants to be a millionaire
How he gets there, he don't care
I watched him go
Too young to know

He was
Gettin' It In The Street
Gettin' It In The Street
He was pickin' it up, checkin' it out, chewin' it up, spittin' it out
Gettin' It In The Street
He was givin' it all away

When I was young I used to run with the pack
Hitched a ride down the railroad tracks
I was lean and mean, the American Dream
Met a girl a couple years ago
Then I lost her to my rock 'n roll
But it's all right
That's just the way it goes

He was
Gettin' It In The Street
Gettin' It In The Street
He was pickin' it up, checkin' it out, chewin' it up, spittin' it out
Gettin' It In The Street
He was givin' it all away

Here as you laugh in your dreams while you're sleeping
Your daddy has gone left no word of his leaving

Gettin' It In The Street
Gettin' It In The Street
He was pickin' it up, checkin' it out, chewin' it up, spittin' it out
Gettin' It In The Street
He was givin' it all away

Gettin' It In The Street
Gettin' It In The Street
He was pickin' it up, checkin' it out, chewin' it up, spittin' it out
Gettin' It In The Street
He was givin' it all away
