That's Life

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

You're riding high on Monday, shot down in May

But I, I ain't never gonna change my tune

When I'm back on top in the month of JuneI said, "That's life, that's life, ain't as funny as it may seem

Some people get their kicks, stompin' on a dream

But I, I don't never let it get me down

'Cause that big ol' world keeps spinnin' 'round"Been a puppet, pirate, a poet, a pauper, a pawn and a king

Been up and down and over and out and I know one thing

Each time that I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the raceThat's life, that's life, and I can't deny it

Many times I thought of quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it

If I didn't think it was worth one try

I'd jump right on a big bucket and flyBeen a puppet, poet, pirate, pauper, now I'm a king

Been up, down, I know one thing

Each time that I find myself flat on my face

I pick myself up and get back in the raceThat's life, that's life, and I can't deny it

Many times I thought of quitting, babe, but my heart wouldn't buy it

If I didn't think it was worth one try

I'd just roll myself up in a big ball, ooh, and fly
