Randy Newman
Baltimore
[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, (corner) waiting for a train
Drunk lying on the sidewalk, sleeping in the rain
And the people hide their faces (faces) as they hide their eyes(hide their eyes)
Cause the city's dyin' and they don't know why
Cause they don't know why

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

[Verse 2]
Get my sister Sandy and my little brother Ray
Buy a big old wagon to haul us all away
I Live out in the country where the mountain's high
I'm never gonna come back here 'till the day I die

[Chorus]
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore, ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live
Just to live
No its hard to live in the city,hey, Oh
We're gonna make it somehow, hey

[Outro]
Just believe
We're gonna make it somehow, Uuhhh
Hard living in the city, City Uuhhh, Oohhh
