Streets of Baltimore (Alternate Version)

(Tompall Glaser and Harland Howard)

Well, I sold the farm and took my woman where she wanted to be

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

And I bought the one way tickets she＇d often begged me for

And they took us to the streets of Baltimore

Well, her heart was filled with gladness when I saw those city lights

She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night

Well, the man feels proud to give his woman what she＇s longin＇ for

And I kinda like the streets of Baltimore

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

And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene

Yes, and every night when I came home with every muscle sore

She＇d drag me through the streets of Baltimore

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

But, I soon learned she loved those bright lights

Much more than she loves me

So I＇m goin＇ back on that same train that brought me here before

[02:39.30]While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
