She was a young girl, her mama said to her Your daddy's leaving home today I think he's gone to stay They packed up all the bags And drove up to Anchorage They got to Anchorage She checked into 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 schoolyard Don't be denied Don't be denied Pretty soon she met a friend She played guitar Used to sit on the steps at school Dream of being stars Started a band 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 Don't be denied Businessmen crowded around 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 A millionaire through a businessman's eyes Old friend of mine Don't be denied Don't be denied Don't be denied
