NEIL YOUNG - Don't Be Denied lyrics

rate me

When I was a young boy,<br>My mama said to me<br>Your daddy's leavin' home today,<br>I think he's gone to stay.<br>We packed up all our bags<br>And drove out to winnipeg.<br><br>When we got to winnipeg<br>I checked in to school.<br>I wore white bucks on my feet,<br>When I learned the golden rule.<br>The punches came fast and hard<br>Lying on my back in the school yard.<br><br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br><br>Well pretty soon I met a friend,<br>He played guitar.<br>We used to sit on the steps at school<br>And dream of being stars.<br>We started a band,<br>We played all night.<br><br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br><br>Oh canada<br>We played all night<br>I really hate to leave you now<br>But to stay just wouldn't be right.<br>Down in hollywood<br>We played so good<br><br>The businessmen crowded around<br>They came to hear the golden sound<br>There we were on the sunset strip,<br>Playing our songs for the highest bid.<br>We played all night<br>The price was right.<br><br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br>Don't be denied, don't be denied.<br><br>Well, all that glitters isn't gold<br>I know you've heard that story told.<br>And I'm a pauper in a naked disguise<br>A millionaire through a business man's eyes.<br>Oh friend of mine<br>Don't be denied.
