Baltimore Lyrics by Lianne La Havas

2014

[Verse 1]
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 is dyin'
And they don't know why
[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Just to live
[Verse 2]
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
Until the day I die
[Chorus] x2
[Outro]
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard
Man, it's hard
Just to live
Just to live
Just to live
Just to live
