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 their tune

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

I said, "That's life"

And as fun as it may seem

Some people get a big ol' kick out of stompin' on 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, yeah, 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 thought of cuttin' out but

My heart just ain't gon' buy it

And if nothing's shakin' around here come July

I'll just roll myself up in a big ball and die
