Baltimore

See a little seagull
On a marble stand
Tryin' to find the ocean
Lookin' everywhere, yeah

Hard times in the city
In a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' there for free

Copper on the corner
Pleading for a drink, yeah
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk
Bleding in the rain

Good people hide their faces
And they hide their eyes, yeah
'Cause the city is dying
And they don't know why

Oh, oh Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live, live, live
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live, just to live

Got my sister, Sandy
And my little brother, Ray, yay, yeah
Buy a big old wagon
To haul us all away

Live out in the country
Where the mountain's high, yay
I'm never goin' back there
'Til the day I die

Whoa, oh Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live, just to live
Just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard, ain't it hard just to live
