Three Steps Back Lyrics

Life's a roller coaster, you're here for the ride

You finally reach the peak, then plummet down the other side

It's feast or famine, you don't get to choose

You're on top of the world, then down in the dumps with the blues

It's topsy-turvy, you're stalled or you sail

It's a curvy, swervy, roller derby, makin' time, then you crash on the rail

It's all or nothing, heaven or hell

For better or worse, a blessing or curse, who can tell?

Some times life is right as rain

A joyful chorus and refrain

You're making progress, you're right on track

Other times it's all uphill

Worse then if you're standing still

Two steps forward and three steps back

I got a suggestion, a word of advise

Don't be inclined to make up your mind

Based on a single roll of the dice

They're only shadows, illusions at best

An always evolving parade of the cursed and the blessed

Pick and chose, win or lose

A celebration or the blues

You can't have the daylight

Unless you have the night

Forward progress or retreat

Start again and then repeat

Over and over again

The pendulum swinging, beginning to end

So find your balance, it's all that you've got

Go with the flow, going to and fro

When you have and when you have not

'Cause time and tide, they come and they go

What the future will bring

Is a thing that nobody can know

Some times life is good as gold

Like the faerie tales of old

Keep moving forward, stay on track

Other times it such a climb

Makes you pray for better times

Two steps forward and three steps back
