ROLLER COSTER RIDE
Copyright 2001 Juan Manuel Albarrán García

v1
Somewhere ´tween San Antone and Santa Fe
I was raised like a typical country boy
Waking up at dawn, living on PBJ´s
I became Mum and Daddy´s pride and joy

Two miles from home they bought me and old house
To fix and paint it was all I had to do
I was supposed to grow old there with a nice spouse
And make Mum and Daddy´s dreams come true

I told´em "I´m sorry but life gives us just one chance
And when it comes to mine these are my plans"

CHORUS1
To always spin round, never settle down
To enjoy the trip as if it was the last
Is the only thing that counts
I´ll just go ahead, I won´t look behind
I want to live my life as if I rode
On a roller coster ride

v2
Somewhere ´tween my twenties and thirties
I was caught by a red-haired hurricane
We had true love and a rusty Chevy
Slept each night on a different interstate

One winter morning her smile disappeared
And I noticed the tiredness in her face
Next night she´d confessed through the tears
That she needed to have kids and a fireplace

I told´er "Feel free to leave, I wish you the best
But in peace is the only way I wanna rest"

CHORUS2
I wanna spin round, never settle down
Enjoy this trip as if it was the last
Is the only thing that counts
I just go ahead, I don´t look behind
I love to live my life as if I rode
On a roller coster ride

Tag
Yeah, I love to live my life as if I rode
On a roller coster ride

Hi Juan....this is good writing and nice rhymes. Just a couple things...you seem to be going for country here, so it would be better if it were "Ma and Dad". "Mum" is a correct term for UK, but not so much for US. I am not sure who would sing it. US singers like to sing songs that leave them looking good....and this guy was not nice to throw away his girl like that. Just my thoughts. Everything else...I like...especially rusty Chevy. Maybe he could change his ways and they could ride the roller coaster of love together or something.

Hi Sunny
I´m glad you´ve comment it.
What tried is say that she´s tired of that way of living so is she who leaves him. You know, he´s a wild one.
When it comes to who will sing it, well in fact I don´t think anybody will. It´s just my 9th song (started to do it in August) so now I just want to learn.
Thanks!!!
Juan

Wow, Juan, this was neat..great pictures
with your words..and rhymes...but I have
to agree with Sunny..bout the guy lookin
bad...and the Ma and Dad..or Mom and Dad..

that one verse really caught my attention.
with the rusty chevy and the....."Red-Haired Hurricane".....interesting way of putting that.....great job.

Kaley.....

Thanks so much for your comments. I guess you´re right. I like the singer to be wild, you know, that´s that meaning of the song: a wild soul. Anyway I´ll think about it. I really appreciate your comments. I´m glad this lyric likes everyone.
Thanks so much
Juan
