Streets Of Baltimore (Live)

Streets Of Baltimore (Live) - Gram Parsons

Well I sold the farm to take my woman

Where she longed to be

We left our kin and all our friends back

There in Tennessee

Then I bought those one-way tickets

She had often begged me for

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well her heart was filled with gladness

When she saw those city lights

She said

The prettiest place on earth

Was Baltimore at night

Well a man feels proud to give his woman

What she's longing for

And I kind of like the streets of Baltimore

Then I got myself a factory job

I ran an old machine

And I bought a little cottage

In a neighborhood serene

Then every night when I'd come home

With every muscle sore

She'd drag me through

The streets of Baltimore

Well I did my best to bring her back to

What she used to be

Then I soon learned

She loved those bright lights more

Than she loved me

Now I'm a going back on that same train

That brought me here before

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
