Mark mcguinn silver platter lyrics

(Mark McGuinn/Trey Mathews)

 

 Everybody wants to make it up to Heaven

 But they don't want to die

 Everybody wants seven or eleven

 Without rollin' the dice

 Just want somethin' for nothin'

 Buy one, just to get one free

 Or be the first to take someone's lovin'

 And not back anything

 

 It don't work that way

 There's a price you have to pay

 It don't work that way

 You gotta step up to the plate

 Can't hit a home run

 Without being the batter

 You won't find your gold

 On a silver platter

 

 Everybody wants to win the blue ribbon

 Without running the race

 Everybody wants to have a perfect body

 Without lifting a weight

 Rather make a million dollars

 Not the old fashioned way

 Spend a buck the pick six numbers

 Now all I have to say

 

 It don't work that way

 There's a price you have to pay

 It don't work that way

 You gotta step up to the plate

 Can't hit a home run

 Without being the batter

 You won't find your gold

 On a silver platter
