Baltimore - Milkshake, Vance Thomas

Daddy’s out working late tonight, driving bus route 53

All he does for us in this life just amazes me.

Mama worked hard all day long down at the Royal Farms

Then picked us in her old red truck here in Baltimore.

I’m 10 going on 11 but I have seen some things

This place seems like heaven — especially in the spring.

There’s a lot of magic here — it’s a little gem

We got big blue crabs, Edgar Allen Poe and the National Anthem…

here in Baltimore.

Baltimore, Baltimore

It’s home sweet home to me.

Baltimore, Baltimore

It’s where I wanna be.

I cant stay away too long

Get me back to where I belong — Baltimore.

Rap:

I go out walking and I look around

see great things in this big small town

I see the Harbor beauty, see the Village green,

See the hard times that I wish would leave.

Row house steps and painted screens

A baby cries, a little boy dreams

Me and my friends hang at Fells Point.

Baltimore is the best, it’s also my joint.

Gonna try to be more

here in Baltimore
