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
