5 CHINESE BROTHERS - Baltimore lyrics

rate me

Tom meltzer<br><br>Once we won the series, took it going away<br>Once we sat on top of the nfl and the nba<br>But all that's over now, time went and slammed the door<br>And even I packed up and left the city of baltimore<br>You know, the older we get the more we stay the same<br>I just found out my radio can pick up the oriole games<br>I tune in every half-an-hour to get the score<br>And remember the day's when I was growing up in baltimore<br><br>Back then I lived in a house, not a one-room flat<br>I didn't have to work or buy food or do anything like that<br>And the first girl that I ever loved lived right next door<br>At night I'd take my dad's car and drive around baltimore<br>Something tells me this picture isn't right<br>Like I'm forgetting how I smashed my dad's car driving stoned one night<br>How my parents fought, how I never even dated the girl next door<br>How I was just a lonely mixed-up kid in baltimore<br><br>Looking back now, you know I do believe<br>When I lived in baltimore, I couldn't wait to leave<br>Go somewhere else and get a brand-new start<br>Now I'm dressing up the past 'cause the present is falling apart<br>The older we get the more we stay the same<br>Chasing after something that doesn't even have a name<br>You know, we'll always trade what we've got for what we had before<br>Everybody's a fool for something, I'm a fool for baltimore
