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
