That's Life

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

You're riding 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

Stompin' on a dream

But I don't let it

let it get me down

'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning 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

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 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 laying flat on my face

I just 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 cutting out

But my heart won't buy it

But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july

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

My My
