Michael Johnson - Roller Coaster Run (Up Too Slow, Down Too Fast) lyrics

I ride a roller coaster up
And down an asphalt track
Runs from Kingsport
Tennessee to Baltimore and back
I drive the Blue Ridge mountains in
An eighteen year old truck
Takes a little cheating and it
Takes a little luck

And it's up too slow, down too fast
When will I be done
And each hill's higher than the last
On this roller coaster run

It's one day there, it's one day back
It's one day with my wife
And late at night we talk
About our roller coaster life
Seems to me when going up
The law should be obeyed
But you got to come down flying if
You want to make the grade
And it's up too slow, down too fast
When will I be done
And each hill's higher than the last
On this roller coaster run

And it's up too slow, down too fast
When will I be done
And each hill's higher than the last
On this roller coaster run
