Baby, let me take you Downtown
and show you where I live
It's got that greasy feel, but the people are real
and you always get more than you give.
I've been to those High Class Places
and those people aren't worth a dime.
I'd rather take it to the streets where the girls can stand the heat.
I'll take raunchy every time.
Give me beer & smoke & dirty jokes,
A weekend looking for love.
Give me whiskey and dancing girls
I'll take on the whole world
That's what this boy is made of.
It's nice to get all done up and fancy
get serenaded by violins
Well I know my Bible in and out no matter what those preachers shout
Fun is not a sin.
You know I like things a little dirty
and every pleasure's got a lick of pain
so let me take you downtown and show you around
I promise you will never be the same.
Give me beer & smoke & dirty jokes,
A weekend looking for love.
Give me whiskey and dancing girls, I'll take on the whole world
That's what this boy is made of
That's what this not so little boy is made of
That's what this dirty white boy is made of
That's what this long haired country boy is made of.

I grew up in the shadows of rust
I saw the Death of the American Dream
They were kind enough to leave the bones for us
After they picked them clean.
Some of my friends said it was the end
But I knew that there had to be more
Than breaking your back and selling your soul
To The Man at the Company Store.
Jimmy had a job on the Penn-Del Line
Before they closed the papers mill down.
Now he’s hanging out with the Drunks and Whores
In a bar on the Southside of town.
Somedays it’s all we can do to pretend
Other days it’s hard to ignore
The things we believed and the shit we were sold
By The Man at the Company Store.
If you give it away, who’s gonna buy it?
You gotta make ‘em pay.
Cause every man has his price.
And I know mine.
I could take my songs out on the road
Try to get a record deal
If there’s anyone left that gives a damn
At least about anything real.
I can build my brand and live in a van
Call it my “National Tour”
But it’s just another job and another line
At a another kind of Company Store.
But if you give it away, who’s gonna buy it?
You gotta make ‘em pay
Cause every man has his price.
And I know mine.
I grew up in the shadows of rust
Saw the death of the American Dream
They were kind enough to leave the bones for us
After they picked them clean.

Acoustic Kitty Project Easton, Pennsylvania
Acoustic Kitty Project takes its name from a failed CIA experiment to implant listening devices in stray cats. And like its
namesake, this is an ill advised and expensive project. But, we do it anyway.
Soulful acoustic music with heartfelt lyrics about love, loss, sweetness and sorrow.
