Lyrics
Got a one-way ticket to Baltimore
Like Edgar Allan Poe
And I shall leave there never more
There's nowhere else to go
I sailed unto a distant shore
My voyages were many
I'm going back to Baltimore
As good a place as any
Oh Baltimore, my Baltimore
My Kingdom by the sea
And I shall dwell in Baltimore
Until eternity, until eternity
Along the Northeast Corridor
The traffic's stop and go
So when I come to Baltimore
I'll ride the B&O
Deboarding through the open door
At Pennsylvania Station
I'm getting off at Baltimore
My final destination
Oh Baltimore, sweet Baltimore
I cannot bear to wait
I've got to get to Baltimore
Before it is too late, before it is too late
The sun goes down on Baltimore
As orange as an oriole
It glows above the Western Shore
Like glass inside the glory hole
Is Baltimore a metaphor
For where my journey ends?
To be immured in Baltimore
No more to see my friends?
Oh Baltimore, Lord Baltimore
Where I may find surcease
Please bring me home to Baltimore
So I can rest in peace, so I can rest in peace
From Camden Yards to Pimlico
Around the Beltway I will go
From Linthicum to Lutherville
Timonium to Millford Mill
I asked the Prince of Elsinore
"To be or not to be?"
But now I live in Baltimore
It's all the same to me
