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 JuneI 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 aroundI've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate

A poet, a p*** 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 raceThat'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 flyI've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate

A poet, a p*** 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 raceThat'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
