Baltimore - Hackensaw Boys

Baltimore - Hackensaw Boys
Written by：Robert Bullington
I went to town and I hung around
Long enough for them to lay me down
Didn't I think I'd ever survive
You can only make 10 dollars an hour
You can only tend to the roofs of power for
Just so long before you got to take a ride
And riley riley why you wait so long
Your momma's crying in your daddy's arms
Baltimore ain't no place to be born
There's a lot to lose for the world to gain
And I declare that I proclaim
That just five more steps to the door
And I'm going away for to leave you
But don't cry baby don't make me blue
Can't you see that look in my eye
And there's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cuz I just know
This road is right tonight
But there are those of you that
But you're never old in your momma's eyes
I never thought that I'd feel so all alone
Well I've seen broken hearts and passing hours
Flag and water towers
I'll miss you honey but we'll talk on the telephone
And I'm going away for to leave you
But don't cry baby don't make me blue
Can't you see that looking my eye
And there's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cuz I just know
This road is right tonight
And I don't believe you love me more
'Cause I don't believe you loved before
What I done was wrong
Well I know what I done was wrong
It's too damn far to Oregon
My courage has left my emotion is gone
California never kept me long
The Atlantic ocean she's a mighty fine
Pond and the just beyond
The blue ridge mountain's calling me back home
And I'm going away for to leave you
But don't cry baby don't make me blue
Can't you see that look in my eye
And there's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cuz I just know
This road is right tonight
There's a time to rest and a time to roll
Don't ask me how 'cuz I just know
This road is right tonight
This road is right tonight
This road is right tonight
This road is right tonight
