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 that tune
When I'm back on top
Back on top in June

I said that's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stoppin' on a dream
But I don't ever let it get me down
'Cause this fine ol' world
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 fallin' flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
And I can't deny it
I thought of quittin' baby
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 fallin' flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life
Yes I admit it I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cutting out
But my heart won't buy it
And if there's nothing shaking up here in July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
Good-bye
