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
