Baltimore

Written by：Randy Newman/David Matthews

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

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 dyin'

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
