Baltimore Songtext
von Randy Newman

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 nothin′ here for free

Hooker on the corner waiting for a train
Drunk lying on the sidewalk, sleeping in the rain
And they hide their faces, and they hide their eyes
'Cause the city's dying 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, my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon, gonna haul us all away
Live out in the country where the mountains high
Never coming 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


Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it′s hard just to live, just to live
