That's Life

That's life, that's what all the people say

ridin' high in April, then shot down in May

But I know I'm gonna change that tune

When I'm back on top in June

that's life and as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream

But I don't let it, don't let it get me down

'cause this fine old world, it keeps spinnin' 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 but 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 you I can't deny it

I thought of quitting, baby, but my heart won't buy it

And if I didn't think it was worth one single try

I'd jump right on a big bird then 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 but I know one thing

Each time I find myself flat on my face

I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, I can't deny it

Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it

But if there's nothin' shakin' come this here July

I'm roll myself up in a big ball a-and die
