Baltimore

Beat-up little seagull On a marble stair Tryin' to find the ocean Lookin' everywhere Hard times in the city In a hard town by the sea Ain't nowhere to run to 'Cause there ain't nothin' here for free Hooker on the corner Waiting on the train Drunk lying on the sidewalk Sleeping in the rain And the people hide their faces As they hide their eyes, they hide their eyes 'Cause the city's dyin' And they don't know why Said they don't know why, hey Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Ooh-ooh, yeah Oh, Baltimore, ain't it 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 I live out in the country Where the mountain's high Never gonna come back here 'Til the day I die, oh-ooh-ooh But, oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Ooh-ooh, oh But, oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live? Just to live Just to live No, it's hard to live in the city, hey, oh But we're gonna make it somehow, hey Just believe We're gonna make it somehow Hard living in the city, city, ooh-ooh
