I wished that I could see what she saw.

Then I turn to you, with your tearful eyes

as you sing a songs saddest lines

"It's when confusion is understood, I once was love,

It once was good".

So dont confuse my position, cause it wont change today,

feelings are on exhibition, years ago feel like yesterday,

and I my youth I learned a lession,

dont miss a chance for a kiss.

Please dont confuse my expression, cause its a smile,

but it a smile...of sadness

Never green.

Go through the motions of habitual lives

rejecting notions of a better time.

6. LIFE ROLLERCOASTER

12 Bar Blues on Verses

ATwenty Years ago, remember I first spoke

DI Layed down the law, told them just what I thought

EMy mother said "Boy, youll be a man, just Dkeep your eyes open, do the Ebest that you can"

Well Afifteen years ago I was still a child.

DI thought the whole world lived in my town.

I was Ehappy playing football, It was my high,

and I Dlearned who my friends were and Ewho to fight.

Ch. ALife Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down

GShakes my nerves, spins my head around

FSometimes high, sometimes on my knees

DI dont know were I'm going

I hardly Eknow were Ive been. Yeah AYeah.

Oh. Ten years ago I was thirteen,

Got my first taste of lovin' if you know what I mean

She showed me hers, I showed her mine

I thought "what have I been doing all this time"

Well five years ago you know I was eighteen

The first girl I loved, I thought that it was a dream

Her first name was Kerry, her second was Anne

I thought it was forever, but she let me down

Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down

Shakes my nerves, spins my head around

Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees

I dont know were I'm going

I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.

Well two years ago, things had to change

So I jumped on a plane and headed for the States

Gorgeous woman everywhere, the sun always shines

I knew that I was gonna have the time of my life

But now Its today and nothings really changed

I still drink too much, I cant pay the bills.

As for understanding woman, I still have no clue

You know I think I knew more when I was two. Oh look out.

Ch. Life Rollercoaster, it takes me up and down

Shakes my nerves, spins my head around

Sometimes high, sometimes on my knees

I dont know were I'm going

I hardly know were Ive been. Yeah Yeah.
