Lyrics

[00:04.00] (Tompall Glaser and Harland Howard)
[00:08.40] Well, I sold the farm and took my woman where she wanted to be
[00:16.20] We left our friends and all our kin back there in Tennessee
[00:23.90] And I bought the one way tickets she'd often begged me for
[00:31.40] And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
[00:39.50] Well, her heart was filled with gladness when I saw those city lights
[00:47.20] She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
[00:56.90] Well, the man feels proud to give his woman what she's longin' for
[01:04.40] And I kinda like the streets of Baltimore
[01:43.00] Well, I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
[01:50.80] And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
[01:58.50] Yes, and every night when I came home with every muscle sore
[02:06.10] She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore
[02:14.20] Well, I tried my best to bring her back to what she used to be
[02:21.90] But, I soon learned she loved those bright lights
[02:26.10] Much more than she loves me
[02:31.20] So I'm goin' back on that same train that brought me here before
[02:47.10][02:39.30] While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
