Baltimore Lyrics by Randy Newman

Baltimore Lyrics

    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's dyin'
    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

    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
    'til 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
