Lyric 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
