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 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
 All around, all around
 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, it keeps goin' faster
 'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya
 Like a roller coaster, it keeps goin' faster
 'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya
 Yea, up, down, all around
 Like a roller coaster
