|
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 |
