Tell Me Where To Start Lyrics by Beth Carvalho in Prairieography Album.
Tell Me Where To Start Lyric
I grew up across from the river
It still runs muddy, shallow and slow
I got tall on the backs of skateboards
My ass on a bicycle, hands on a fishing pole
All afternoon I would jig for Walleye
But I’d be happy with just a Bass or a Pike
Cause school was out and I was running
Past the darkness of the winter to the summer’s sunrise
You be Tom Sawyer, I’ll be Huck Finn
Nothing can stop me, all I can do is win
I know it’s a cold world, but I got this warm heart
If you need a friend, tell me where to start
When I was 12 I fell madly in love
With the cold hard music of skates and sticks and pucks
So I set out to make myself a name
In every rink from Winnipeg to Boissevain
You be Greztsky, I’ll be Messier
Nothing can stop me, nothing will stand in my way
I know it’s a cold world, but I got this warm heart
If you need a friend, tell me where to start
It was spring, I was 16
We made the playoffs by the skin of our teeth
She was out there wrapped up watching from the stands
I was playing just for her love and for that chance
She could be my Joan and I could be her Bob
See we’ve hit our stride, we can do no wrong
I know it’s a cold world, but I got this warm heart
If you need a friend, tell me where to start
Darling if you need some love, just tell me where to start
