That's Life

That's life (that's life)

That's what all the people say

You're riding high on Monday

Shot down in May

But-a, 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-a, 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 bird and I'd 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
