lyrics

I left my home on a chilly night
I think about it still
There was nothing left to keep me there
Up in those dark hills
I went to meet the bus
When it stopped at Conley’s store
And it rained all the way to Baltimore

West Virginia mountains
Are like a bruise in my mind
Reminding me of all the people
That I left behind
But I couldn’t make the pieces fit
The way they were before
So I came all the way to Baltimore

Sometimes I think about
The songbirds in the spring
But you can’t get paid for memories
They ain’t worth a doggone thing
Now I hear the seagulls crying
Down along the shore
Stuck in this dirty city
God damn you Baltimore

But it’s mostly you I think about
When the evenings fall
I wonder what you think of me
If you think of me at all
I’ll never see your face again
Till I stand at heaven’s door
Unless you come all the way to Baltimore
Won’t you come all the way to Baltimore
All the way to Baltimore

Rod Johnson recommends:

Blue Jay
by The Mysteries of Life

I have loved these guys for a long time and I'm happy they're still/again making records. There's something mysterious (ha) and warm and subtly funky about all their records. Rod Johnson

Ageless Sea
by Samn Johnson

Big, brave, atmospheric orchestral rock, like something out of the deep past and the future simultaneously. I'm a linguist and it thrills me to hear materials like Caedmon's Hymn treated with respect. Rod Johnson
