roller coaster
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]
