about

Dusty The Kid is a folk singer from Paradise Valley, Montana. With a sound that wanders down western railroad tracks and through the hills of Ireland, his unique voice and rough 'n' tumble style digs up a new corner of Americana.

The Kid's songs capture stories from the mines of Butte to the steel mills of Pennsylvania and seek to return folk music to it's revolutionary roots.

lyrics

Your bulldozers rolling through my part of town
The iron ball swings and knocks it all down
You knocked down my flophouse and knocked down my bars
Black-topped it over to park all your cars

And where will I go and where can I stay?
You knocked down the skid row and hauled it away
I'll flag a fast rattler and ride it on down, boys
They're running the bums out of town

Old Maxie the tailor is closing his doors
There ain't nothing left in the secondhand stores
You knocked down my hock shop and the big Harbor Lights
The old Chinese cafe that was open all night

And where will I go and where can I stay?
You knocked down the skid row and hauled it away
I'll flag a fast rattler and ride it on down, boys
They're running the bums out of town

You ran out the hookers who worked on the street
But built a new club where the playboys can meet
My bookie joint closed when your cops made a raid
But you built a new hall for the stock market trade

And where will I go and where can I stay?
You knocked down the skid row and hauled it away
I'll flag a fast rattler and ride it on down, boys
They're running the bums out of town

These little storekeepers they don't have a chance
With the big uptown bankers a-calling the dance
With their suit-and-tie restaurants that's all owned by geeks
And the counterfeit hippies and their plastic boutiques

And where will I go and where can I stay?
You knocked down the skid row and hauled it away
I'll flag a fast rattler and ride it on down, boys
They're running the bums out of town

Now I'm finding out there's just one kind of war
It's the one going on 'tween the rich and the poor
I guess that I don't know a lot about class
But the upper and middle can all kiss my ass

And where will I go and where can I stay?
You knocked down the skid row and hauled it away
I'll flag a fast rattler and ride it on down, boys
They're running the bums out of town
