Baltimore
Randy Newman
Beat up little seagull on a marble stair
Tryin' to find the ocean, looking everywhere
Hard times in the city, in a hard town by the sea
Ain't nowhere to run to, there ain't nothing here for free
Hooker on the corner waiting for a train
Drunk lyin' on the sidewalk, sleeping in the rain
And they hide their faces and they hide their eyes
'Cause the city is dying 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 to haul us all away
Live out 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
