That's Life

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 June
 I said, that's life (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 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
 And I know one thing
 Each time I find myself
 Flat on my face
 I pick myself up and get back in the race
 That's life (that'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 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 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
 But if there's nothing shakin' come here this July I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
 My, my
