Baltimore Lyrics by Nils Lofgren

Nils

[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

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Just to live

[Verse 2]
Oh, hooker on the corner
Been waitin' for a train
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk
Sleepin' in the rain
And they hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
Oh, 'cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Man, it's hard to live

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live

[Verse 3]
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
I'm never comin' back here
'Til the day I die, no

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard just to live
I said, oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard, hard to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it's hard

[Instrumental Outro]
