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
