Goodbye to Baltimore
I’m leaving in the morn
Moving out to Kansas
With its sunflowers and corn
The east coast has worn me down
I gotta get away
Start building something new
On the Midwestern plain
Goodbye to Baltimore
I can’t keep up this pace
can’t catch my breath here
I need to get some space
So I bought myself a farmhouse
Nestled in among the cottonwood trees
Every day the meadowlark
Will sing her song for me
Your summers suffocate me
Your winters chill me to the bone
You may have been the place I lived
But you were not my home
Goodbye to Baltimore
It’s all fallen apart
Three times I fell in love
Three times a broken heart
I’m gonna meet a Wichita woman
We’ll be married in the fall
And a baby by next winter
With any luck at all
Goodbye to Baltimore
I’m leaving in the morn

Barman says it’s time to go on home
See you tomorrow at 2
Get your bags, I’ll walk you to your flat
Annie, what’s gonna become of you?
Drinking hard, living low
You’re breaking my heart in two
Sure as hell you’re headed for a fall
Annie, what’s gonna become of you?
Drinking, gambling, hustling for dimes
Throw all your money away
Thinking ‘bout nothing but having good times
Annie, don’t you feel it slipping away?
Pretty girl I knew in Tennessee
Sweet as a morning dew
I remember days when you walked in straighter ways
Annie, what’s gonna become of you?
Quit your bars and out of tune pianos
Quit singing your low down blues
Let’s head home, you know you want to
Annie, what’s gonna become of you?
Lets make tracks, lets get on back
Start all over anew
Southbound train will take us to Memphis
And a greyhound will carry us through
Set your mind on the hills of Tennessee
Shining ‘neath the sky so blue
And your poor old dad who’s picking on a banjo
Annie, what’s gonna become of you?
Barman says its time to go on home
See you tomorrow at 2
Get your bags, I’ll walk you to your flat
Annie, what’s gonna become of you?
