Baltimore

Beat-up little seagull on a marble stair

Trying to find the ocean, looking everywhere

Hard times in the city, in a hard town by the sea

Ain't nowhere to run to, there ain't nothing here for free

Hooker on the corner, waiting for a train

Drunk lying on the sidewalk, sleeping in the rain

And the people hide their faces and they hide their eyes

'Cause the city's dying and they don't know why

Oh Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?

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

Live out in the country where the mountain's high

Never gonna come back here till the day I die

Oh Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?

Oh Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?

Just to live
