Roller Coaster

Roller Coaster - Blood, Sweat & Tears

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 you hold on tight with all your might

'Coz you don't know what you feel

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 a-keep on spinnin'

Like a roller coaster, keeps goin' faster

'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya

Up, 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

And now I know what my papa 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 a-your might

As if your heart's ignited

Like a roller coaster, it keeps goin' faster

'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at yaa

Up, down, all around

Like a roller coaster

Up, down, all around

On a cycle that's never endin'

You got on this train when a-you were born

And the wheels just keep on spinnin'

Like a roller coaster, it keeps goin' faster

'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya

Up, down, all around

Like a roller coaster

Like a roller coaster
