neil young - raised on robbery lyrics

Loading...

he was sitting in the lounge of the empire hotel
he was drinking for diversion, he was thinking for himself
a little money riding on the maple leafs
along comes a lady in lacy sleeves

she says: “let me sit down, you know, drinkin’ alone’s a shame
look at those jokers glued to that d+mn hockey game
hey honey, you’ve got lots of cash
bring us ’round a bottle and we’ll have some laughs
gin’s what i’m drinking, i was raised on robbery”

i’m a pretty good cook, i’m sitting on my groceries
come up to my kitchen, i’ll show you my best rеcipe
i try and i try but i can’t save a cent
i’m up aftеr midnight cooking, trying to make my rent
i’m rough but i’m pleasin’, i was raised on robbery

we had a little money once
they were pushing through a four lane highway
government gave us three thousand dollars
you should have seen it fly away
first he bought a ’57 biscayne, he put it in a ditch
he drunk up all the rest, that son of a b+tch
his blood’s bad whiskey, i was raised on robbery

you know you ain’t bad looking, i like the way you hold your drinks
come home with me honey, i ain’t asking for no full length mink
hey, where you going? don’t go yet
your glass ain’t empty and we just met
you’re mean when you’re loaded, i was raised on robbery
