That's Life

That's life, 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

Oh, I say, that's life (That's life), and as funny as it seems

Some people get their kicks from stompin' 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 just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life (That's life), oh, I tell ya, can't deny it

Many times I thought of quitting, baby

But my heart won'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

'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), that's life and I can't deny it

Many times I thought of cuttin' out, but my heart won't buy it

And if there's nothing shakin' come this here July

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

My, my
