On the roller coaster ride

Verse:
Amazon
You had so much and now so much is gone
What are you gonna do
With your life?

Verse:
What a lucky man.
To see the earth before it touched his hand
What an angry fool
To condemn.

Verse:
One more night to go
One more sleep upon your burning banks
A greedy man never knows
What he's done.

Chorus:
A natural beauty should be
Preserved like a monument to nature
Don't start yourself too short, my love
Or someday you might find your soul endangered
A natural beauty should be
Preserved like a monument to nature.

Verse:
Went to the rodeo today
I saw the cowgirls lined up on the fence
A brand new Chevrolet
A brand new pair of seamless pants.

Played back over on the video screen
Somewhere deep inside
Of my soul.
