Another Steely Dan cover! The original featured a killer guitar track by Larry Carlton. My apologies, Larry. As always, all licenses and permissions obtained.

I'm a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from central Kentucky. My music is a mix of many different influences; from the country and western I heard as a child to some stuff I heard yesterday. I was a full time, working musician for over twenty years; doing clubs and concerts all over the eastern U.S., but mainly in Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, Ohio, and Florida. I have played every kind of venue; from the smallest, seediest club to 10,000 seat concert halls. Loved every minute of it. I also spent many hours in various studios as both musician and producer on a variety of projects. I am now a part time musician; I divide my musical time between writing and recording my own songs and playing with a great bunch of musicians in a band called "The Grandees". I write songs primarily to make you shake your money maker. I'm not deep, and I'm certainly no virtuoso. I just want you to have a good time. The songs I have here are from my second solo CD, titled "The Twisted Tale Of The Honky Tonk Monkey", which is available at CDBaby.com and my upcoming CD "Bad Choices Make Good Stories". My first CD, "All Night Radio", is available at CD Baby and fine CD discount bins everywhere. Thank you for visiting, and... TURN IT UP!!!!!

Lyrics
Daddy don't live in that New York City No more He don't celebrate Sunday on a Saturday night No more Daddy don't need no lock and key For the piece he stowed Out on Avenue D Daddy don't live in that New York City No more Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado No more He don't travel on down to the neighborhood Liquor store Lucy still loves her coke and rum But she sits alone Cause her daddy can't come Daddy don't drive in that Eldorado No more Driving like a fool out to Hackensack Drinking his dinner from a paper sack He says I gotta see a joker And I'll be right back Daddy don't live in that New York City No more He can't get tight every night Pass out on the barroom floor Daddy can't get no fine cigar But we know you're smoking Wherever you are Daddy don't live in that New York City No more
