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 a big ol' kick out of stompin' on a dream

But I don't let it, I don't let it get me down

'Cause this old world just 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 lyin' flat on my face

I just pick myself up and get back in the race

'Cause that's life

And I can't deny it

I thought of quittin', baby

But my heart just ain't gon' buy it

And if I didn't think it was worth a single try

I'd just jump 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 lyin' flat on my face

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

'Cause that's life

And I just can't deny it

Many times I've thought of cuttin' out but

My heart just ain't gon' buy it

And if nothing shakin' around here come July

I'll just roll myself up in a big ball and die
