Baltimore

[Verse 1]

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

There ain't nothin' here for free

Hooker on the corner

Waitin' for a train

Drunk, lyin' on the sidewalk

Sleepin' in the rain

And they hide their faces

And they hide their eyes

Cause the city is dyin'

And they don't know why

[Chorus]

Oh, Baltimore

Man, it's hard just to live

Just to live

[Verse 2]

Get my sister, Sandy

And my little brother, Ray

Buy a big old wagon

Gonna haul us all away

Livin' in the country

Where the mountain's high

Never comin' back here

Until the day I die

[Chorus] x2

[Outro]

Oh, Baltimore

Man, it's hard

Man, it's hard

Just to live

Just to live

Just to live

Just to live
