That's Life

That's life

That's what all the people say

You're riding high in April

Shot down in May

But I'm gonna change that tune

When I'm back on top in June

I said that's life

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks

Stompin' on a dream

But I ain't gonna let it get me down

'Cause this fine ol' world

will keep spinning around

I've been a puppet

a pauper, a pirate

A poet, a pawn and a king

I've been up and down and

over and out

And I know one thing:

Each time I find myself, flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, I tell ya, I can't deny it

I thought of quitting baby

But my heart ain't gonna buy it

And if I didn't think that it was

worth one single try

I'd jump right on a big bird and I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate

A poet, a pawn and a king

I've been up and down and over and out

And I know one thing:

Each time I find myself

flat on my face

I pick myself up and

get back in the race

That's life

That's life and I can't deny it

Many times I thought of cutting out

But my heart ain't gonna buy it

But if there's nothing shakin'

come this here July

I'm gonna roll myself up

in a big ball and die

Bye, Bye
