Silver Platter Lyrics - Singles - Mark Mcguinn

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
