Baltimore

Beat-up little seagull on a marble stair

Tryin' to find the ocean, looking everywhere

Hard times in the city, in a hard town by the sea

Ain't nowhere to run to, there ain't nothing here for free

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Just to live

Hooker on the corner and waiting for a train

Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk, sleeping in the rain

And they hide their faces and they hide their eyes

'Cause the city is dying and they don't know why

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Just to live

Man, it's hard just to live

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Just to live

Get my sister, Sandy, and my little brother, Ray

Buy a big old wagon to haul us all away

Live out in the country where the mountains high

I'm never comin' back here 'till the day I die

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Just to live

Oh Baltimore,

Man, it's hard just to live

Oh Baltimore, man, it's hard

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~
