Coldplay Streets Of Baltimore Lyrics

Streets Of Baltimore Lyrics

Well I sold the farm to take my woman
Where she used to be
We left our kin
and all our friends
Back there in Tennessee
And I bought those one way
tickets
She had often begged me for
And they took us to the streets of
Baltimore

Well her heart was filled with gladness
When she saw those
city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth was
Baltimore at
night
Well a man feels proud to give his woman
What she's longing
for
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

Then I got myself a
factory job
I ran an old machine
And I bought a little cottage
In a
neighborhood serene
And every night when I'd come home
With every muscle
sore
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore

Well I did my
best to bring her back
To what she used to be
Then I soon learned she
loved those bright lights
More than she loved me
Now I'm a going back on
that same train
That brought me here before
While my baby walks the
streets of Baltimore
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
