'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya
Hitched a ride on a diesel truck
Headed for Washington
Thought I'd have some fun
You'll thrill like a kid
Yea, up, down, all around
Up, down, all around
On a cycle that's never endin'
You go up, down, all around
“Son, you'll find out soon enough
'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya
Like a roller coaster
And the wheels just keep on spinnin'
But you hold on tight with all your might
You hang on tight with all a-your might
'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya
When he told me heart to heart
You got on this train when you were born
And now I know what my papa meant
On a cycle that's never endin'
Like a roller coaster
Like a roller coaster, keeps goin' faster
Up, down, all around
All around, all around
'Coz you don't know what you feel
You got on this train when a-you were born
Up, down, all around
I left home at just sixteen
Like a roller coaster, it keeps goin' faster
Like a roller coaster, it keeps goin' faster
You'll get so excited
And the wheels just a-keep on spinnin'
Like a roller coaster
As if your heart's ignited
Like a roller coaster ride”
'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at ya
Rollin' down these hills
Up, down, all around
Life is just an amusement park”
'Coz I'm goin' past ya, thrills comin' at yaa
Up, down, all around
Life is full of ups and downs
Like a roller coaster, it keeps goin' faster
There'll be times you'll get so scared
Like a roller coaster, it keeps goin' faster
