Lyrics

That's life, That's Life That's what all the people say. You're riding high on Monday, Shot down in May. But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune When I'm back on top in the month of June. I said, that's life. That's Life Ain't as funny as it may seem, Some people get their kicks Stompin' on a dream. But I, I don't never let it get me down 'Cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round. Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king. Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing: Each time that 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 quitting, babe, But my heart wouldn't buy it. If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd jump right on a big bucket and fly. Been a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper; now I'm a king. Been up, down, I know one thing: Each time that 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 quitting, babe, But my heart wouldn't buy it. If I didn't think it was worth one try I'd just roll myself up in a big ball and fly.
