Silver Lakeside

          C                        
Well, the hillbillys taught me how 
   G
to play guitar
D                              G
City slickers taught me how to be a 
star
  C                        G
I don't have either of 'em down good
 yet
       D                       
So I'm goin to the lake where I 
 G
first got wet
         D                        
Yeah I'm goin to the lake where I 
C         G
first got wet


You had tough luck chasin low down 
guys
You started out sour now, you're 
pastureized
You got the same pretty mouth with a
 wiser tongue
I got radar ears, I can listen some
I got radar ears, I can listen to 
you some


Chorus:
        D
And I'm not gonna push ya, I don't 
wanna press
        C                    G
I'm not gonna put ya through some 
kinda test
        D
I'm not lookin for lust or makin up 
lies
      C                        
But I just wanna meet ya by the 
            G

I remember summer time boys camps, 
blankets and trunks

I dreamed I had a stripper in my 
upstairs bunk
I had a dirty kid mind that's how I 
got through
I could never love a stripper the 
way I loved you
I could never love a stripper the 
way I loved you


I wish I had more heart wish I 
stayed outta bars
Wish I had a big shot to sign my 
guitars
But a big shot's name is a paint pen
 scrawl
Couldn't play it anymore, I'd have 
to hang it on the wall
Couldn't play it anymore, I'd have 
to hang it on the wall


Chorus:
        D
And I'm not gonna push ya, I don't 
wanna press
        C                    G
I'm not gonna put ya through some 
kinda test
        D
I'm not lookin for lust or makin up 
lies
      C                        
But I just wanna meet ya by the 
            G

The weather was dry and the whiskey 
was good
And bad luck you up-chucked it like 
I knew you would
Said God get me home, I won't do 
this again
Said I won't be your preacher, but I
 will be your friend
When your mama finds you like this, 
you're sure gonna need a friend


We're all lookin for something if it
 isn't too much
Some are lookin to tell and some are
 lookin to touch
There's a right time to talk and a 
wrong way to rub
If I'm lookin for something must be 
your love
If I'm lookin for something must be 
your love


And now the lake looks muddy man 
it's supposed to be silver
Got stood up on the bank but I got 
to remember
Everything in this world has two or 
more sides
Like a woman, like a river, like a 
Ferris wheel ride
Like a woman, like a river, like a 
Ferris wheel ride


So come on down to the silver lake 
now
Now we got more to do than the night
 will allow
You can stick your toes in the milky
 sand
We can rest our hearts where it all 
began
We can rest our hearts where it all 
began


Chorus:
        D
And I'm not gonna push ya, I don't 
wanna press
        C                    G
I'm not gonna put ya through some 
kinda test
        D
I'm not lookin for lust or makin up 
lies
      C                        
But I just wanna meet ya by the 
            G
