Well, the hillbillys taught me how to play guitarCity slickers taught me how to be a starI don't have either of 'em down good yetSo I'm goin to the lake where I first got wetYeah I'm goin to the lake where I first got wetYou had tough luck chasin low down guysYou started out sour now, you're pastureizedYou got the same pretty mouth with a wiser tongueI got radar ears, I can listen someI got radar ears, I can listen to you someAnd I'm not gonna push ya, I don't wanna pressI'm not gonna put ya through some kinda testI'm not lookin for lust or makin up liesBut I just wanna meet ya by the silver lakesideI remember summer time boys camps, blankets and trunksI dreamed I had a stripper in my upstairs bunkI had a dirty kid mind that's how I got throughI could never love a stripper the way I loved youI could never love a stripper the way I loved youI wish I had more heart wish I stayed outta barsWish I had a big shot to sign my guitarsBut a big shot's name is a paint pen scrawlCouldn't play it anymore, I'd have to hang it on the wallCouldn't play it anymore, I'd have to hang it on the wallChorusThe weather was dry and the whiskey was goodAnd bad luck you up-chucked it like I knew you wouldSaid God get me home, I won't do this againSaid I won't be your preacher, but I will be your friendWhen your mama finds you like this, you're sure gonna need a friendWe're all lookin for something if it isn't too muchSome are lookin to tell and some are lookin to touchThere's a right time to talk and a wrong way to rubIf I'm lookin for something must be your loveIf I'm lookin for something must be your loveAnd now the lake looks muddy man it's supposed to be silverGot stood up on the bank but I got to rememberEverything in this world has two or more sidesLike a woman, like a river, like a Ferris wheel rideLike a woman, like a river, like a Ferris wheel rideSo come on down to the silver lake nowNow we got more to do than the night will allowYou can stick your toes in the milky sandWe can rest our hearts where it all beganWe can rest our hearts where it all beganChorus
