Don't Be Denied

Lyrics for Don't Be Denied

When I was a young boy My mama said to me "Your daddy's leavin' home today I think he's gone to stay" We packed up all our bags And drove out to Winnipeg When we got to Winnipeg I checked in to school I wore white bucks on my feet When I learned the golden rule The punches came fast and hard Lying on my back in the school yard Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Well, pretty soon I met a friend He played guitar We used to sit on the steps at school And dream of being stars We started a band We played all night Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied The businessmen crowded around They came to hear the golden sound There we were on the Sunset Strip Playing our songs for the highest bid We played all night The price was right Don't be denied, no, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Don't be denied, don't be denied Well, all that glitters isn't gold I know you heard that story told And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise A millionaire through a business man's eyes Oh, friend of mind Don't be denied
