Townes Van Zandt – Rake Lyrics 13 years ago
rake (rāk)

noun
a dissolute, debauched man; roué

True.

"I was takin' my pride in the pleasures I'd known
I laughed and thought I'd be forgiven
but my laughter turned 'round eyes blazing and
said my friend, we're holdin' a wedding"

This song is throw back to a different time. A wild young man, sleeping around, gets caught and is forced to marry. Probably a a shotgun wedding.
