I'm Not The Kind Of Guy Who

Critics Have Said I Write Without Spontaneity, In Cold Blood. I Don't. I Write In Hot Blood.

Though You Can See When You're Wrong, You Know You Can't Always See When You're Right.

I Run Into People From The Lehigh Valley And Allentown All Over The World, And They're Obviously Doing Pretty Well. They Say, "oh, It's Pretty Nice There Now And There's A Lot Of New Businesses That Have Come Into The Area." Nobody's Telling Me, "yeah, I Left." Everybody Says, "you Know, I'm There. It's Great. It's Really Nice There, And You Made Our Town Famous."

I Had A Melody And A Rhythm And Chords, But Nothing To Talk About. I Remember Reading About How The Decline Of The Steel Industry Had Been Affecting The Lehigh Valley, And I Decided That's What I Was Going To Write The Song About.

I Have Been Both Praised And Criticized. The Criticism Stung, But The Praise Sometimes Bothered Me Even More. To Have Received Such Praise And Honors Has Always Been Puzzling To Me.
