[00:00.00]Streets Of Baltimore - Country Express
[00:09.71]I sold the farm to take my woman
[00:13.22]
[00:13.94]Where she longed to be
[00:16.49]
[00:17.91]We left our kin and all our friends back
[00:21.94]There in Tennessee
[00:24.33]
[00:26.18]I bought those one way tickets
[00:28.92]
[00:29.94]She had often begged me for
[00:33.11]
[00:34.16]And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
[00:39.39]
[00:42.85]Her heart was filled with laughter
[00:45.63]
[00:46.65]When she saw those city lights
[00:49.54]
[00:51.08]She said the prettiest place on earth is Baltimore at night
[00:57.96]
[01:01.20]Well a man feels proud to give his woman
[01:05.15]
[01:05.87]What she's longing for
[01:08.47]
[01:09.48]And I kind of liked the streets of Baltimore
[01:14.52]
[01:18.08]Well I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
[01:24.96]
[01:26.48]I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
[01:33.01]
[01:34.77]Yet every night when I came home
[01:38.15]
[01:38.77]With every muscle sore
[01:41.42]
[01:42.80]She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore
[01:47.98]
[01:52.06]Well I did my best to bring her back to
[01:55.13]
[01:55.68]What she used to be
[01:56.67]
[02:00.29]But I soon learned she loved those bright lights
[02:03.46]
[02:04.32]Much more than she loved me
[02:06.62]
[02:09.57]Now I'm a going back on that same train
[02:13.52]
[02:14.21]That brought me here before
[02:16.97]
[02:18.07]While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
[02:22.93]
[02:25.89]Yes my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
