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
