Lyrics
You called me on the telephone
You said that you changed your mind
The love you thought would save you soul
Was the one that you left behind
I was wondering if you still gave a damn
And If you had the room for two
Cause I'm headed out of Baltimore
On my way back home to you.
Sing me a song
About the land of the rising sun
Let's talk about the days
When we were young and so in love
You meet me down at the Wichita prairie
We could cut the time in two
Cause I'm headed out of Baltimore
on my way back home to you
Yesterday so alive
In your arms and held so tight
Should I stay should I go
Oh my darling I just don't
Now I know I was wrong
I'm sorry that I took so long
I missed you so
and now I know
You called me on the telephone
You said that you changed your mind
The love you thought would save your soul
Was the love that you left behind
I was wondering if you still gave a damn
And If you had the room for two
Cause I'm headed out of Baltimore
On my way back home to you.
I'm headed out of Baltimore
on my way back home to you.
