Maryland i/ˈmɛrᵻlənd/ is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington, D.C. to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware to its east. The state's largest city is Baltimore, and its capital is Annapolis. It has three occasionally used nicknames: the Old Line State, the Free State, and the Chesapeake Bay State.
One of the original Thirteen Colonies, Maryland is considered to be the birthplace of religious freedom in America, when it was formed in the early 17th century as an intended refuge for persecuted Catholics from England by George Calvert. George Calvert was the first Lord Baltimore and the first English proprietor of the then-Maryland colonial grant. Maryland was the seventh state to ratify the United States Constitution.
Maryland is one of the smallest states in terms of area, as well as one of the most densely populated states with nearly 6 million residents. With its close proximity to Washington, D.C., and a highly diversified economy spanning manufacturing, services, and biotechnology, Maryland has the highest median household income of any state.
I've been thinking
I've been thinking I've been thinking too much.
I just want to live now for a little while.
And cast my dreams to the wind
Don't wanna wonder
don't wanna wonder what it's all about
I'm just working for a living singing with my friends
As I cast my dreams to the wind
Maryland I'm coming home
Never worry about what I did wrong.
And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be
and I'llnever see what my mama's dreams were
But I will sing
La la la la la la la la...
I wanna fly
I wanna fly down the highway to my home away from home.
This funky funky club on Fairfax Avenue to see you.
I'll never give up
Because what is there to give up anyway?
I'm just working for a living working for my pay
In Maryland it's raining somewhere in some cafe.
Maryland I'm coming home
Never worry about what I did wrong.
And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be
and I'llnever see what my mama's dreams were
But I will sing
