That's Life

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 that I'm gonna change that tune

When I'm back on top, on top in June

I said that's life (That's life)

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream

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

'Cause this fine old world, it keeps 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 (That's life)

I tell ya, I can't deny it

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

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

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

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, mmm, 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)

I tell ya, and I can't deny it

Baby, I thought of quitting, but my heart just wouldn't 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
