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

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
