Coaster Ride
061798

Clink! Clink! Clink! Up, up, we go.
To the crest to make some dough.
No time to enjoy this ride,
Preparation for the slide.
On the crest the world’s so fair,
Just a moment balanced there.
Down the tubes our world may go,
Trying to go with the flow.
Strive you may, you can’t hide
From the oil-field coaster ride

Sing it!

Roller coaster, you can’t hide
From the oil-field coaster ride
In preparation for the slide
No time to enjoy this ride

Rip! Rip! Rip! Down, down, we go,
Trying not to let it show.
Win a battle, loose the war,
Unemployment’s not that far.
One last contact, now he’s gone,
Said they took away his phone.
Strive you may, but you can’t hide,
From the oil-field coaster ride.

Chorus!

Roller coaster, you can’t hide,
Balanced checkbooks tell no lies.
Credit cards are out of sight,
Last one out turn out the lights!
