C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon
A click clacking my heart keeps making an ominous sound
That chain keeps dragging me up just to drop me back down
I think I'm over the hump enough to see the other side
That's when another thought of you runs through my mind

Since you had to go, I've been on a roller coaster ride
Up and down I go, over you, then about to lose my mind
It's out of control, round and round
Upside down and down upside
Since you had to go, I've been on a roller coaster ride

Psychedelic trip, my stomach flips again and again
I'd love to get my ticket back but I'm locked in
A white knuckle grip hanging onto what's left of my life
I hate to think about to coming down when I'm up this high

Since you had to go, I've been on a roller coaster ride
Up and down I go, over you, then about to lose my mind
Pain points his gun, and I hold my hands up high
Off the edge I go, on this roller coaster ride

Since you had to go, I've been on a roller coaster ride
Up and down I go, over you, then about to lose my mind

It's out of control, round and round
Upside down and down upside
Since you had to go, I've been on a roller coaster ride

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
