Sitt'n here alone
I'm looking back on where I've roamed
And laugh'n, how I swore
I'd win and not get burned.
Left my family, left my home
I worked my fingers to the bone
And there was not a stone
I did not leave unturned.
A ...And I was having a E good time
(Chrous)
B Roll On, roll F# ON, roller coaster
We're C#m one day older,
And E one step closer.
B Roll on, there's mounta F# ins to climb
C#m Roll on, were E on borrowed time.
A Roll on roller E coaster,
E Roll on to B nigh...[roll on tonigbt...yeaaa]
(Verse 2 - accompaniment plays B, G#m, F#, E)
Money and success
I don't complain about the stress
I wanted this and now its here
So I don't bitch.
And I swear that time's a trick
It disappears and oh so quick
Man I was just 16,
Now I'm staring attt....36.
...But I'm still having a good time! Good time!

G I know it's hard to A see with the sun in your B eyes
G But one day you're gonna A say I saw the B light (Pause)
(Verse 3 - accompaniment plays B, F#, C#m, E)
And now headn' for that hill
And I just can not wait until
My children grow up
To have children of their own
And I'll being telling them about
The times I turned the party out
And how I stood against an army all alone
Drinkn' wine and staying high
And realized it couldn't last
And how I turned myself around
And went down another path
And the signs you must observe
When life's changes do occur
But most of all I'd tell them
Just how proud I am of them
A ...And always have E a good time bave a good time!
A ...It's all-a love an E d good times [woo...oo...oo]
A ...Let's all have a E good time...yeaaaaaa
(Use chorus rhythm throughout B, F#, C#m, E)
