Baltimore — текст песни (Randy Newman)

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`s dyin`
And they don`t know why

Oh Baltimore
Man it`s hard just to live
Oh, Baltimore
Man, it`s hard just to life, 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
