That's Life

That's life

You know, that's what all the people say

You're riding high in April, you’re shot down in May

But I know I'm gonna change that tune

When I'm back on top in June

I say that's life

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks

From stomping on your dreams

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

Because 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

And I know one thing

Each time I find myself

Laying 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

So many times I thought of cutting out

But my heart won’t buy it

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

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

‘Cause 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 layin'

Flat on my face

I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life

That's life and I can't deny it

So many times I thought of cutting out

But my heart, it just ain’t gonna buy it

And if there's nothing shaking, come this here July

I'm gonna roll myself up

In a big ball and die

My, my
