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