Tom Waits - Raised Right Men lyrics

There ain't enough raised right men I said, there ain't enough raised right men It takes a raised right man to keep a happy hen I said, there ain't enough raised right men Heavens to murkatroid, miners to coal A good women can make a diamond out of a measly lump of coal And you need the patience of a glacier If you can wait that long Open up his window and admit it when you're wrong There ain't enough raised right men Ain't enough raised right men I said, there ain't enough raised right men It takes raised right men to keep a happy hen I said, there ain't enough raised right men Mackey Debiasi was a complicated man He quarreled with his woman and she quarreled with her man And his head was just too thick So she knocked out a tooth He's that lonely man on the Turnpike in the toll takers booth There ain't enough raised right men Ain't enough raised right men I said, there just ain't enough raised right men It takes raised right men to keep a happy hen I said, ain't enough raised right men Gunplay Maxwell and Flat Nose George Ice Pick Ed Newcomb on a slab in the morgue and Flat Nose looked at Gunplay and they all looked at me With a good woman's love we could have saved all three And there ain't enough raised right And there ain't enough raised right And there ain't enough raised right And there ain't enough raised right men I said, ain't enough raised right men It takes raised right men to keep a happy hen I said, ain't enough raised right men I said, there ain't enough raised right men I said, there ain't enough raised right men Where are the raised right men
