That's Life

That's life That's what all the people say You're ridin' high in April, shot down in May But I know I'm gonna change that tune When I'm back on top, back on top in June I said, that's life And as funny as it may seem Some people get a big ol' kick out of stompin' on a dream But I don't let it, I don't let it get me down 'Cause this old world just 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, and I know one thing Each time I find myself lyin' flat on my face I just pick myself up and get back in the race 'Cause that's life And I can't deny it I thought of quittin', baby But my heart just ain't gon' buy it And if I didn't think it was worth a single try I'd just jump on a big bird, and 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 and I know one thing Each time I find myself lyin' flat on my face I just pick myself up, and I get back in the race 'Cause that's life And I just can't deny it Many times I've thought of cuttin' out but My heart just ain't gon' buy it And if nothing shakin' around here come July I'll just roll myself up in a big ball and die
