That's Life

That's life, that's what all the people say

You're ridin' high in April, you're 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 say that's life, and as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream

But I don't let it, get me down

'Cause this old world, just keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a poet, a pauper, a pirate, 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, I tell ya, I can't deny it

I thought of quitting baby, but my heart just won't buy it

And if I didn't think it was worth just one more try

I'd roll myself up in a big ball and die

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king

I've been up and down, over and out, I know one thing

Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face

I just pick myself up and I get back in the race

That's life, I can't deny it

I thought of quitting baby, but my heart just won't buy it

But if there's nothin' shakin' come here this July

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