5 Chinese Brothers - Baltimore lyrics

Tom meltzer Once we won the series, took it going away Once we sat on top of the nfl and the nba But all that's over now, time went and slammed the door And even i packed up and left the city of baltimore You know, the older we get the more we stay the same I just found out my radio can pick up the oriole games I tune in every half-an-hour to get the score And remember the day's when i was growing up in baltimore Back then i lived in a house, not a one-room flat I didn't have to work or buy food or do anything like that And the first girl that i ever loved lived right next door At night i'd take my dad's car and drive around baltimore Something tells me this picture isn't right Like i'm forgetting how i smashed my dad's car driving stoned one night How my parents fought, how i never even dated the girl next door How i was just a lonely mixed-up kid in baltimore Looking back now, you know i do believe When i lived in baltimore, i couldn't wait to leave Go somewhere else and get a brand-new start Now i'm dressing up the past 'cause the present is falling apart The older we get the more we stay the same Chasing after something that doesn't even have a name You know, we'll always trade what we've got for what we had before Everybody's a fool for something, i'm a fool for baltimore
