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



See the light at the end of the tunnel

Big relief, got it all in sight

But things can change within a second

And broad daylight turn to the darkest night



It's just the same old story

I've had enough of trouble

But I keep getting more

A cold wind blows

Well I know just how it goes

I've seen it about a million times before



Put another coin in the onearmed bandit

Buy a ticket from the state lottery

Put another coin in the jukebox

Lady Luck come dance with me
