Bmore Christmas

Verse:

These holiday streets have salt boxes in the corner and that domino sugar sign glow.

‘Cuz In Baltimore, we’ve got the Natty Bohohoho

Old Charm City can be too cold for crabs and too warm for snow.

On these Holliday streets, some of the formstone’s gone brick

But the neighborhoods all stay lit

Where have all the people gone?

It’s not the same with the Amazon trucks on these roads when we used to go to Howard and Lexington Streets.

I’ll be headed home on the City Gold and Silver Link

‘Cuz In Baltimore, we’ve got the Natty Bohohoho

Old Charm City can be too cold for crabs and too warm for snow.

On these Holliday streets, some of the formstone’s gone brick

But the neighborhoods all stay lit

CSX and Norfolk Southern trains roll by

Piles of salt and tunnel walls

Take me down to the B&O yard Youse all

I see the lights on the Pagoda in Patterson Park and the 34th Street shines

I feel that public Market flow

Don’t run off down the ocean yet

Enjoy this Baltimore Holiday show
