Don’t Be Denied
She was a young girl
Mama said to her
Your daddy's leaving home today
I think he's gone to stay
We packed up all the bags
And drove out to Anchorage
They got to Anchorage
She checked in to school
She wore white Chucks on her feet
She learned the golden rule
Punches came fast and hard
Lying on her back in the school yard
Oh
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Pretty soon she made 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
Oh
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Businessmen 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
Oh
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
All that glitters isn't gold
You know you heard that story told
She's a pauper in a naked disguise
Millionaire through a businessman's eyes
Oh, friend of mine
Don't be denied
Oh
Mama said to her
Your daddy's leaving home today
I think he's gone to stay
We packed up all the bags
And drove out to Anchorage
They got to Anchorage
She checked in to school
She wore white Chucks on her feet
She learned the golden rule
Punches came fast and hard
Lying on her back in the school yard
Oh
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Pretty soon she made 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
Oh
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Businessmen 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
Oh
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
Don't be denied, don't be denied
All that glitters isn't gold
You know you heard that story told
She's a pauper in a naked disguise
Millionaire through a businessman's eyes
Oh, friend of mine
Don't be denied
Oh
