Rollercoasters
Holy roller
I got shot down
In Southern California

All along you never loved me, yeah
Till the day that you shut me off
And now that it's over
I hope that you've found what you're after, yeah

Are you having a good time
With your friends and your French wine?
So now I'm gonna warn ya
That there's only so much I can owe
Are you having a good time?
Yeah yeah yeah

Aahahooooo

You're like a movie star, yes
Driving in your fancy car
And there ain't nothing I can do about it
Spending money never mattered, no
'Cause always daddy paid the damage, yeah
But now that you're living on the hills
I hope that you're social life doesn't get ya killed, aoohhhhhh

Are you having a good time
With your friends and your French wine?
So now I'm gonna warn ya
That there's only so much I can owe
Are you having a good time?
Yeah yeah yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leroy's "Good Time" delve into the emotions of a broken-hearted individual left wondering if their ex-partner is enjoying their new life without them. The song begins with the lyrics "Rollercoasters, Holy roller, I got shot down, In Southern California," where the rollercoaster is a metaphor for a tumultuous relationship, the Holy roller alludes to spirituality, and being shot down suggests rejection. The singer then laments that their ex never loved them, and it was only after being shut out of their life that they realized the truth. He hopes that she finds what she is looking for in her new life.


The chorus asks whether his ex is having a good time now that she is living a life without him, with friends and French wine. He warns her that he can only owe her so much before they need to move on. The bridge of the song talks about the challenges of being on top, "It ain't easy being on top," a nod to the challenges of living a life in the limelight.


Overall, Leroy's "Good Time" explores the emotions of heartbreak, reflection, and moving on, with the poignant message that life goes on, and sometimes the hardest part is watching the other person move forward without you.

I will always associate this with Scrubs but will forever consider it an anthem for people like me that wish all the best for the people in their past while simultaneously trying to find something better for ourselves.
