Streets of Baltimore

I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

We left our friends and all our kin back there in Tennessee

I bought those one-way tickets that she was beggin' for

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Her eyes they shone with laughter when she saw those city lights

She said, "The prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night"

A man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for

And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine

I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

When I'd come home from working late with every muscle sore

She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

I'd give anything to take her back to what she used to be

But I guessed she loved those city lights more than she loved me

So I'm heading home on that same train that brought me here before

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

So I'm heading home on that same train that brought me here before

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
