Tom Waits - Raised Right Men Lyrics
There ain’t enough raised right menI said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”It takes a raised right man to keep a happy henI said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”Heavens to Murkatroid, miners to coalA good women can make a diamond out of a measly lump of coalAnd you need the patience of a glacier if you can wait that longOpen up his window and admit it when you’re wrongAnd they’re ain’t enough raised right, ain’t enough raised right menI said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”It takes a raised right men to keep a happy henI said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”Mackey Debiasi was a complicated manHe quarrelled with his woman and she quarrelled with her manAnd his head was just too thick so she knocked out a toothHe’s that lonely man on the turnpike in the toll takers boothAnd they’re ain’t enough raised right, ain’t enough raised right menI said, “There just ain’t enough raised right men”It takes a raised right men to keep a happy henI said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”Gunplay Maxwell and Flat Nose GeorgeIce Pick Ed Newcomb on a slab in the morgueAnd Flat Nose looked at Gunplay and they all looked at meWith a good woman’s love we could have saved all threeAnd there ain’t enough raised right, ain’t enough raised right, ain’t enough raised right, ain’t enough raised right menI said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”It takes a raised right men to keep a happy henI said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”I said, “There ain’t enough raised right men”I said, “There just ain’t enough raised right men”Where are the raised right men?
