Roller Coaster Lyrics

I recall when I was young
My papa said don't cry
Life is full of ups and downs
Like a roller coaster ride
There'll be times you'll get so scared,
Rollin' down these hills
But hang on tight with all your might
Cause you don't know what you feel

[Chorus]
You go up, down, all around,
On a cycle that's never endin'
You got on this train when you were born
And the wheels just keep on spinnin'
Like a roller coaster, it keeps going faster
I'm going faster, thrills comin' at ya
And I walk down, all around
Like a roller coaster

I left home at just sixteen,
Thought I'd have some fun
Hitched a ride on a diesel truck
Headed for Washington
I know now what my poppa meant
When he told me heart to heart
Son, you'll find out soon enough
Life is just an amusement park

You'll thrill, like a kid
You'll get so excited
You hang on tight with all your might
As if your hearts ignited

[Chorus]
