Here's something that might work for you:

Get the small free script called "Address Book to CSV Exporter".
With a single click it will export your Address Book entries to a CSV 
file that you can then open in Excel. From there, you can delete 
columns you don't want, and save as a text file.

However, it does seem that the address all comes over in one cell, 
not broken into street, city, state, zip.

So it depends on what you are trying to do with the result, whether 
this solution will serve.
