Don't Be Denied Lyrics - Crosby Stills Nash & Young

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.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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. 

Oh Canada 

We played all night 

I really hate to leave you now 

But to stay just wouldn't 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. 

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 

I know you've heard 

that story told. 

And I'm a pauper 

in a naked disguise 

A millionaire 

through a business man's eyes. 

Oh friend of mine 

Don't be denied.
