Mmmm I love it when you play it like that Come on... Play Sittin' here alone I'm lookin' back on where I've roamed And laughing how I swore I'd win and not get burned Left my family Left my home I worked my fingers to the bone And there was not a stone I did not leave unturned And I was havin' a good time Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight yeah Money and success I don't complain about the stress I wanted this and now it's here So I don't bitch And I swear that time's a trick It disappears in oh so quick Man I was just sixteen And now I'm starin' at thirty-six But I'm still havin' a good time Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight And I know it's hard to see with the sun in your eyes But one day you're gonna say I saw the light And now headin' for the hill And I just cannot wait until My children grow up to have children of their own And I'll be telling them about The times I turned the party out And how I stood against an army all alone Drinkin' wine and stayin' high And realized it couldn't last And how I turned myself around And went down another path And the signs we must observe When life's changes do occur But most of all I'll tell them Just how proud I am of them And always have a good time It's all love and good times Let's all have a good time Yeah Roll on Roll on Roller Coaster We're one day older and one step closer Roll on there's mountains to climb Roll on we're on borrowed time Roll on Roller coaster Roll on tonight Roll on tonight
