Baltimore - Randy Newman

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
