Lyrics
Baltimore Before Its Gone
2007 (c) Sarah Fridrich, ASCAP

brownstones and sharp needles
and flat boards across the windows
brownstones and sharp needles
and flat boards across the windows

the dark horse is on a crash course
and the man on the corner
they say he's the source
but take a look around
you'll see another truth
the man on the corner's got
nothing else to do

lets go walkin in baltimore before its gone
its all here now but the time is coming
it won't be long
lets go walking in baltimore before its gone

the camera and the tv
make homicide look so pretty
but the blood on the front step
makes a child think of things he can never forget

lets go walkin in baltimore before its gone
its all here now but the time is coming
it won't be long
lets go walking in baltimore before its gone

i'm going out to california
do you wanna come along
i'm going there to see my brother
he's the younger one

a run-down city's like an old ghost town
all the white folks leave when the gold runs out
a run-down city's like an old ghost town
all the white folks leave when the gold runs out

lets go walkin' in baltimore before its gone
its all here now but the time is coming
it won't be long
lets go walkin' in baltimore before its gone

i'll be imagining your pretty face
and the way that you could play a song
i'll be imagining your pretty face
lets go walkin in baltimore before its gone
lets go walkin in baltimore before its gone

lets go walkin in baltimore before its gone
its all here now but the time is coming
it won't be long
lets go walking in baltimore before its gone
