Don’t Be Denied

She was a young girl

Her mama said to her

"Your daddy's leavin' home today

I think he's gone to stay"

They packed up all their bags

And drove up to Anchorage

When they got to Anchorage

She checked in to school

She wore white chucks on her feet

She learned the golden rule

The punches came fast and hard

Lying on her 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 she met a friend

She played guitar

Used to sit on the steps at school

And dream of being stars

They started a band

They 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 business men crowded around

They came to hear the golden sound

There they were on the Sunset Strip

Playing their songs for the highest bid

They played all night

The price was right

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 all that glitters isn't gold

You know you've heard that story told

And she's a pauper in a naked disguise

A millionaire through a business man's eyes

Oh friend of mine

Don't be denied
