Say good-bye to your twenties
+
Tomorrow is the "Big 3-0"
+
For my birthday present
+
I've got a place where we can go
+
It's a lesson in motion
+
To ride the wildest ride
+
We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster
+
And look down the other side
+
So let me ride in the front car
+
And you ride right behind
+
And I'll click my snapshot camera
+
At exactly the right time
+
Shoot back over my shoulder
+
Catch the fear no one can hide
+
When we tip the top of the roller coaster
+
And look down the other side
+
Over the hill
+
So when the prints come back
+
We can look at that unmistakable birthday fear
+
Like your younger days are over now
+
And its all down hill from here
+
It was a happy birthday
+
You surprised us all
+
So take a look at this glossy picture
+
I framed it for your wall
+
It's the moment of truth
+
It's the top of your youth
+
The camera don't lie
+
You might be screaming
+
But there's a meaning
+
In the laughter in your eyes
+
It seems to be saying
+
"Of coarse there will be fear"
+
But this is why we stand in line
+
Spend that time
+
Make that climb
+
To finally feel the other side
+
And it's all down hill from here
+
We're gonna climb to the top of the roller coaster
+
And look down the other side
+
