Partridge Family Roller Coaster 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 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
