That’s Life

That's life, that's what all the people say
 You're riding high in April
 You're shot down in May
 But I know I'm gonna change that tune
 When I'm back on top in June
 Oh I say, that's life (that's life) and as funny as it seems
 Some people get their kicks from stompin' on your dreams
 But I don't let it, let it get me down
 Because this fine old world, it 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
 But I know one thing
 Each time I find myself laying flat on my face
 I just pick myself up and get back in the race
 That's life (that's life), oh I tell ya can't deny it
 Many times I thought of quitting out, baby
 But my heart won't 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 fly
 'Cause 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 layin' flat on my face
 I just pick myself up and get back in the race
 That's life (that's life), that's life
 And I can't deny it
 Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
 And if there's nothing shakin' come this here July
 I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
 My, my
