Well, I'm stuck here between hope and frustration
Keep getting thrown from side to side
It's an familiar situation
I'm on life's own rollercoasterride

I see the light at the end of the tunnel
Big relief, I got it all in sight
But things can change within a second
And broad daylight turns to darkest night

It's just the same old story, I've had enough of trouble
But I keep getting more and a cold wind blows
But I know just how it goes
I've seen it about a million times before

Put another coin in the one armed bandit
Buy a ticket from the state lottery
Put another coin in the jukebox
Lady Luck come dance with me

It's just the same old story, I've had enough of trouble
But I keep getting more and a cold wind blows
But I know just how it goes
I've seen it about a million times before

It's just the same old story, I've had enough of trouble
But I keep getting more and a cold wind blows
But I know just how it goes
'Cuz I've seen it about a million times before

It's just the same old story, I've had enough of trouble
But I keep getting more and a cold wind blows
But I know just how it goes
I've seen it about a million times before

It's just the same old story, I've had enough of trouble
But I keep getting more and a cold wind blows
But I know just how it goes
I've seen it about a million, a million, a million times before
