lyrics
I wish I had a pretty penny
Just like you do
I’d lose all my woes
And I’d dance the night through
But she leans through the doorway
And calls out your name
When you’ve been all night rollin’
In a dead man’s game
Ride the roller coaster, babe
Climb up slow and let it fall
You rush to the bottom
But you never feel that thrill again
Well, I’d never trade these old boots
For fortune or fame
I’m grateful for my raising
And proud of where I came
But the pictures in the dark frames
Start to roll on by
As the night starts to move
In the blink of an eye
Ride the roller coaster, babe
Climb up slow and let it fall
You rush to the bottom
But you never feel that thrill again
Don’t you go growing old
Before your time
Before your time
Hold true to your weathered soul
And let it shine
Ride the roller coaster, babe
Climb up slow and let it fall
You rush to the bottom
But you never feel that thrill again
Ride the roller coaster, babe
Climb up slow and let it fall
You rush to the bottom
But you never feel that thrill again
