That's Life

That's life (That's life)

That's what all the people say

You're riding 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 (That's life)

And as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks stomping on a dream

But I don't let it, 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

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 you I can't deny it

I thought of quitting, baby

But my heart just ain't gonna 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

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 just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (That's life)

That's life and I can't deny it

Many times I thought of cutting out

But my heart won't buy it

But if there's nothing shaking come this here July

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

My, my
