Dont Be Denied — текст песни (Neil Young)

When I was a young boy,

My mama said to me

Your daddys leavin home today,

I think hes 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.



Dont be denied, dont be denied.

Dont be denied, dont be denied.

Dont be denied, dont 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.



Dont be denied, dont be denied.

Dont be denied, dont be denied.

Dont be denied, dont be denied.



Oh canada

We played all night

I really hate to leave you now

But to stay just wouldnt be right.

Down in hollywood

We played so good



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.



Dont be denied, dont be denied.

Dont be denied, dont be denied.

Dont be denied, dont be denied.



Well, all that glitters isnt gold

I know youve heard that story told.

And Im a pauper in a naked disguise

A millionaire through a business mans eyes.

Oh friend of mine

Dont be denied.
