(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
