Streets of Baltimore
Journey of Love: From Tennessee Fields to Baltimore Lights
Lyrics
Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
Decided to sell the farm to fulfill his woman's desire to move.
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
Left behind family and friends in Tennessee.
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for
Bought one-way tickets as per her persistent requests.
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore
Arrived in Baltimore, facing a new life.
Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights
Her happiness increased upon seeing the city lights.
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
Declared Baltimore as the most beautiful place, especially at night.
Well a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
Expressed pride in providing what she desired.
And I kind of like the streets of Baltimore
Expressed personal liking for the streets of Baltimore.
Then I got myself a factory job, I ran an old machine
Found a factory job and purchased a serene cottage.
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
Described the neighborhood as peaceful and tranquil.
And every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore
Despite physical strain, returned home every night.
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore
Spent time together exploring the streets of Baltimore.
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
Made efforts to restore their relationship to its former state.
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me
Discovered her preference for the city lights over their relationship.
Now I'm a going back on that same train that brought me here before
Decided to return to the place he came from.
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
Leaving while she continues to enjoy the streets of Baltimore.
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
Emphasizes her ongoing enjoyment of Baltimore's streets.
