Raised On Robbery (with Neil Young & The Santa Monica Flyers) (Tonight's the Night Session) - Joni Mitchell/Neil Young/The Santa Monica Flyers
Lyrics by:Joni Mitchell
He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
Drinking for diversion and 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 damn 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 recipe
I try and I try but
I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm rough but I'm pleasin'
I was raised on robbery
I'm a little money once
They were pushing through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars
Lord you should have seen it fly away
First he bought a '57 Biscayne
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That son of a f*****
His blood's bad whiskey
I was raised on robbery
You know you ain't bad looking
And 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
