Lyrics

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 nothing here for free
Hooker on the corner
Waiting for a train
Drunk lying on the sidewalk
Sleepin' in the rain
And the people hide their faces
And they hide their eyes
'Cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why
I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live
Go and get my sister Frances
And my little brother Ray
Buy a fleet of Cadillacs
Haul them all away
And we live out in the country
Where the mountain's high
Never gonna go back there
Till the day I die
I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
I say oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live
