Charley Pride - Streets Of Baltimore lyrics

rate me

Sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be

We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennesee

Bought those one way tickets, she had often begged me for

And it took us to the streets of Baltimore

I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine

Bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

Every night when I came home with every muscle sore

She would drag me through the streets of Baltimore (steel)

(recited)

Well I tried my best to bring her back to where she used to be

(sung)

I guess she loved those bright lights much more than she loved me

Well I guess I'll head on back to the place I was before

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore

While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
