Lyrics Gettin' It in the Street - David Cassidy

Daddy left before I was three
Just my 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 he used to run with the pack
Hitch a ride down the railroad tracks
He was lean and green, 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 lie 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
Gettin' it in the street
