That's Life

[Verse 1] 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 That's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream But I don't let 'em get me down 'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' around [Chorus] 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 just pick myself up and get back in the race [Verse 2] That's life, oh, and you know I can't deny it Many times I thought of quittin' baby, but my heart won't buy it And if I didn't think it was worth one single try Well, I'd hop up on a big bird and then I'd fly [Chorus] 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 just pick myself up and get back in the race [Outro] That's life, oh, and you know I can't deny it Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it And if there's nothin' shakin' here come this July Well, I'm gonna roll myself in a little ball and die, oh That's life, and as funny as it may seem Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream But I don't let 'em get me down 'Cause this fine old world, it keeps me spinnin' round
