Dear Old Baltimore I've been to San Francisco I've crossed the Golden Gate But that high-tech society And me don't relate I've been out to L. A. I drove the freeways fast But the thrills of Tinsel Town They will never last But now I'm home in Maryland Where my pride just soars I know I'll never leave again My dear old Baltimore I took my ax to Nashville To sing my little songs But I couldn't keep the beat All my chords were wrong But now I'm home in Maryland Where my pride just soars I know I'll never leave again My dear old Baltimore
