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
|
