From the recording Short Stories
A radio report mentioned the city Baltimore. I don't remember what about but the name Baltimore stuck with me. This story came to me about seeking a lost love. Rockabilly love song.

Lyrics
I got a pocket full of worries that I can't seem to lose
There's a cold wind blowing down my neck right down to my shoes
I got a lucky penny and a dollars worth of nickels but that won't pay my dues
I'm gonna find her so I'm going to Baltimore
Chorus: Baltimore, Baltimore, I never been to that city but now I have to go
Baltimore, Baltimore, I'm gonna find her so I'm going to Baltimore
If I had some folding money, I'd catch a train for sure
Ride First Class with a smile on my face and my heart full of hope
But wishing won't get me closer so I got to keep moving on
Step by step I'm heading to Baltimore
Chorus
Well she said she'd never leave me as she headed out that door
She kissed me on the face said she still loved me but she just had to go
Now I can't live without her so I've got to keep moving on
I'm going to find her so I'm going to Baltimore
Chorus
